Micanopy, Florida was voted one of the "12 Cutest Small Towns in America" by the Huffington Post!
The town center is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and contains a number of antique stores, as well as several restaurants.
Micanopy hosts a large arts festival every autumn featuring many local (and distant) artists. The festival brings in a crowd much larger than the town's population from across Payne's Prairie in Gainesville and surrounding areas. The festival, which is set on the towns main street, offers more than art. There is kettle corn, honey, and many different varieties of food. Of course art work, hand crafted gifts, handmade jewelry are present.
