Welcome To Sanford, FL

The area began as the military Fort Mellon. However, Daniel Stewart purchased more than 12,000 acres of land, and the town grew around the fort. The destination was eventually named for General Henry Shelton Sanford.

The community lies between Lake Mary and Lake Monroe in the east-central region of the state. The rivers and lakes in the area earned Sanford the nickname "Historic Waterfront Gateway City." Fascinating places to visit include the Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens and the Sanford Museum.

Things To Do

Each February, the community rallies for the Love Your Shorts Film Festival. The event takes place at the Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center. Independent filmmakers submit entries lasting no more than 30 minutes in a variety of topics. Movie fans and a panel of judges view the films and prizes are awarded. Budding moviemakers also have the chance to attend various workshops.

On the first weekend in May, all are encouraged to experience appreciation for the arts by attending the annual St. John's River Festival of the Arts. The bricked streets of the downtown area become filled with the works of some of the top artists in the country. Chalk artists will also decorate Sanford's sidewalks. Artists provide live demonstrations of their craft and invite the public to participate by creating their own masterpieces. The Culinary Arts Court supplies gourmet treats and acoustic musicians provide live entertainment.

Toward the end of October, moviegoers enjoy the Sanford International Film Festival. The five-day event welcomes all to watch and honor some of the best movies and filmmakers on the planet. Guests are also invited to attend discussions and workshops in addition to taking a sneak peek at behind the scenes. Awards are given to the best in various categories.

The Community Harvest Festival takes place during the first weekend in November at the All Souls Catholic Church. The event features a carnival, a beer tent complete with TV, arts and crafts exhibits along with a silent auction. Interesting activities include jailing-a-friend, a cash grab, a duck pond, pig races and the rainbow roll.
