The Coconut Grove Arts Festival is a much-anticipated event. Now in its 57th year, this is one of the premier cultural events of Greater Miami & Miami Beach’s very busy winter cultural calendar. The bohemian Coconut Grove neighborhood comes alive February 18-20, 2023 with stands and stalls from more than 360 juried artists, as well as culinary demonstrations and delicious local eats, live music, family-friendly activities and more.

What To Expect

The Coconut Grove Arts Festival is an inspiring celebration of the arts. More than 120,000 people attend the outdoor festival every year. The festival takes over a beautiful stretch of Coconut Grove, overlooking the sailboats moored in Biscayne Bay. Here, you can browse art in mediums ranging from sculpture and painting to photography and jewelry. Expect top-quality artists representing a wide variety of styles.

Great Food & Live Music

Cooking demonstrations led by local and celebrity chefs are on the schedule, along with more than 50 restaurant and gourmet partners showcasing their culinary skills, so come hungry. You’ll enjoy a range of bites ranging from high-end eats to festival-style favorites.
