Residents dress in 1890s clothing in an attempt to "turn-back-the-clock", but that hardly seems necessary – in McIntosh, it really is like going back in time! Victorian and Florida cracker homes set among century-old live oak trees is a perfect backdrop for this popular festival. Come to stroll the dozens of arts and craft booths and sample delicacies of the many concession stands, or bring a blanket and a picnic lunch to enjoy the entertainment while the children romp in the park.
McIntosh is located along Hwy. 441 between Gainesville and Ocala. Although the festival is officially open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., come early and try to beat the crowd... everyone else does.
