One of the Orlando area's cultural and historic jewels, the tiny community of Eatonville is distinguished as the first incorporated black community in America. The community remains integrally tied to the African American traditional culture that has endured through the generations, highlighted by the Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts and Humanities. Revenues from this popular event bring as much as $3 million in tourist spending into Orange County each year. The small town is located several miles north of Orlando along Interstate 4. The festival honoring Hurst is a showcase of visual, performing, and folk arts that encourages interaction between emerging talents and legendary artists and scholars. Revitalization in the town includes wonderfully manicured cityscapes that create a pleasing backdrop for this historic village.
