About
The 2023 (8th Annual) Florida Tiny House Festival promises to be another of United Tiny House Association’s exciting and most encompassing events to date. This year’s event will be two days of tiny & micro homes, movable tiny houses, music, entertainment, workshops/presentation, fire & flow artists, and more!
A number of skoolies (converted buses) will be in attendance in “The School Yard”… and be sure to visit the vardos, yurts and other specialty tiny homes in the “Bohemian Village”. Private-owned tiny houses will be found in “Tiny House Town” and new model tiny homes will be on display, and for sale, from a number of professional builders in “Tool City”.
Interested in registering your home or business to participate in this year’s event? Vendor, homeowner, and food concession registration forms are available HERE.
The 8th Annual Florida Tiny House Festival is a dog-friendly event. (All well-behaved furry family members are welcome, but MUST be kept on a leash or in an enclosure. ALL pets MUST be cleaned up after. Also, misbehaved/aggressive pets, and pets not being made to adhere to the previous stipulations, will be removed from the venue.)
On Saturday and Sunday, admission is $20.00 at the gate and covers the entire weekend (BOTH days). Gates are open at 10AM-5PM. (Note: Discount tickets are available online HERE while supplies last.)

After years of organizing not-for-profit outdoor concerts and festivals as fundraisers for students and college-bound homeschool students, as well as being on Florida’s state board for home education, John, along with Fin, created the For-Charity Tiny House Festivals; including the now famous Georgia Tiny House Festivals (2016 – 2023) and the 60K+ attendee & 116 tiny structure Florida Tiny House Festivals (2016 – 2022); as well as 15 other record-breaking for-charity tiny house festivals in California, DC/Virginia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Tennessee (3x’s)… as well as the Nation-wide & historic TINY HOUSES across AMERICA and the first-ever FREE International Online Tiny House Festival.
On May 23-24, 2020, John and Fin organized and hosted the first ever FREE International Online Tiny House Festival, which spanned two days and involved 5 countries, over 30+ tiny home tours, more than 2 dozen speakers, and live entertainment… and was held for a second time on May 22-23, 2021.
The For-Charity Tiny House Events from the United Tiny House Association embrace all modalities of tiny living, whether they are professional-built tiny homes, private-owned tiny houses, DIY structures, ADUs, tree houses, skoolies (converted school buses), yurts, campers, vardos, and any other tiny residences anyone calls home.
Also, all tiny house lifestyles are encouraged and supported. These include, but are not limited to, off-grid living, on-grid living, wilderness living, ADUs, and both suburban & urban living.
Most importantly, United Tiny House Association’s For-Charity Tiny House Events are designed to support local communities and charities, through the fundraising activities at its Tiny House Events and as a means of giving charities and non-profit organizations a platform to share with others. To date, the United Tiny House Association has given away and donated over $781K from the proceeds of their 29 For-Charity Tiny House Festivals to over 100+ charities, non-profits, and great causes.
John and Fin have been featured on HGTV, the DIY Network, TODAY.COM, JEOPARDY!, The Rachel Ray Show, A&E, AOL, FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS, and countless newspapers, newscasts, magazines, Vlogs, Blogs, and Podcasts around the World. They are regularly invited to speak at colleges, festivals, events, meet with Local/National/Federal government officials, work with individuals one-on-one, and partner with other organizations in their efforts to bring both the tiny house community and those outside the tiny house community together in a common understanding of what living tiny is all about.
