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
While the name points to the main event, the festival is about much more than just visual art. It also includes culinary arts, live music and dance.
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.
Be sure to check out the lineup of live music on the main stage when you buy your tickets, and plan your visit accordingly.
A Family Activity Area
The Family Zone is a must-stop for festival-goers with little ones. It is packed with activities to keep the kiddies entertained. Located in beautiful Regatta Park, a modern bayfront park with tropical landscaping and wide open spaces, the Family Zone offers interactive activities, including hands-on kids’ art activities.
