Coconut Grove Arts Festival

I wish I could have given this event 5 stars. Because, it really host beautiful art with amazing artist! Artists using paper to petals, metal to moments to create. I have enjoyed coming to Coconut Grove Art Festival year after year. My first visit was 1989, about four years after its inception, this was only two weeks after the birth of our baby girl. We needed a break from the routine of new parenthood. Maybe you can identify! It was then I thought my budget could afford some of the beautiful pieces. Fast toward to 2025, although the art is still beautiful as ever, with some fantastic innovations, I bought popcorn! They were so good!!! Innovative, caramely , crunchy, tasty, and very affordable. Oh! I forgot! I purchased lunch and a poster. The event sponsors have posters commemorating each year. But I will continue to support this event. BECAUSE, one day , I WILL buy a piece to hang on my wall. BET!!!

Outstanding (a few artists). Not a fan of the crafts but there is something for everyone to like.

One of the best art festivals we have been to! Really well set up, organized and run with tons of booths, food options, music and other things to do. If you ever in the area I highly recommend this event!

I visited on Monday, 23rd (the last day) and the Festival was less crowded. I tried to go on Sunday and only the time that took me to try to drive through the people and traffic was too much time. I saw different varieties of art pieces. They had for all tastes. I particularly liked one artist, that his name is Christopher and he had high resolution pictures in BIG sizes in acrylic. It looks very real and very creative pictures. Also, I personal liked one lady that the husband is from China and he paints in canvas. Beautiful! I didn't like the food. I only tried the giros, not too much meat and not to clean. A lot of fried food. I would like to see next time more healthy options. Ice cream, churros, candies, frosty lemonades. All these sounds good, but also the healthy version like açaí bold could be good. I didn't see homemade and artisanal food and dessert, like: Italian cookies, hummus, herbs (mediterranean options), croissant (French food), wine options. I saw many stands of beer and a few for cocktails. I saw dogs walking inside, I should brought mine. A few tend with clothes and jewelry. Good for families and friends and for small local business. I didn't use the parking, but I saw one in $10. Prices ranges: 25$ (entrance per day- general admission). If you live in the area I think is 20$.

I’ve been to a lot of art festivals, but not any that were as great as this one! Great talent, great variety, great people, great food. Many artists willing to tell you about their passion. Lots of southern artists mixed in as well. Our weather was not great this past weekend, but it was still a great day!
