Health & Harvest Festival, Nov. 7

The Saturday farmers market gets a fall upgrade on Nov. 7. Healthy West Orange hosts a free Health & Harvest Festival there with the city from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., with games, giveaways, fitness classes, cooking lessons and health screenings.

The Winter Garden Farmers Market itself sets up every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Downtown Pavilion, with more than 100 vendors. Leashed dogs and cats are welcome, and the three-level parking garage at 160 S. Boyd St. is free.

Craft Affair, Nov. 14

The city’s Craft Affair fills the Jessie Brock Community Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 14. Everything for sale is handmade by members of Winter Garden’s Active 50+ community, from seasonal décor and jewelry to artwork and gifts, just in time for holiday shopping. Admission is free.

Why We’re Hyped

That’s every Friday night in November plus two Saturdays, all free and all in Winter Garden. The Friday concerts and the harvest festival are both in Historic Downtown, so either one pairs easily with dinner on Plant Street.
