"Downtown Winter Park is so pretty and some of the art is so different than what I am used to seeing," Bailey Callahan said of the 5th Annual Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival. More than 1100 artists will be headed to Central Park for the event on March 15 through 17.
Each year, more than 350,000 people attend the art show that also features some the best local and national music talents, family activities and a plentiful supply of good food and beverages.
Twelve year-old Callahan is scheduled to perform March 17. She writes her own songs which have been aired on WMMO 98.9 Sunday Morning Acoustic program. Callahan recently returned from Nashville where she recorded her first album with Martina McBride's band backing her up.
