This past April’s Chain of Parks Art Festival in downtown Tallahassee has continued its long string of national recognitions. This was also its first year under Powell Kreis as festival manager.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s a really special feather in our cap,” she remarked. “The artist surveys that we did internally really expressed how wonderful Tallahassee patrons were and continue to be. We’ve hit this ranking a couple of years in a row, which we’re very proud of. We were number 7 last year, so to be number 3 this year is a big leap.”<\/p>\n

The annual art festival ratings, as ranked by participating artists, is compiled by Sunshine Artist, a national event resource.<\/p>\n

“In 2019 we were number one, which was super exciting. Obviously we’ve had to recover a bit from the pandemic, but we’ve continued to be in the top 10 for the last couple of years. So to get to number 3 is really exciting! I’m hoping for number 1 again next year for our 26th anniversary.”<\/p>\n

Kreis said the festival’s 25th anniversary this year was also marked by a record attendance of more than 42,000 people during the two-day happening. <\/p>\n
