The story

Coconut Grove Arts Festival in Miami

The Coconut Grove Arts Festival is an outdoor fine arts fair held each February in Miami's Coconut Grove neighborhood, marking its 62nd edition in 2026. One of South Florida's longest-running arts festivals, it draws juried artists working across painting, sculpture, photography, and other mediums to the neighborhood's streets for a multi-day President's Day weekend event.

Its long history and scale make it a core South Florida arts event.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Now past six decades of continuous programming, the festival predates most of the arts-and-crafts fair circuit that developed across Florida in later years, giving it a legacy status within the state's cultural calendar

02

The mystery stays covered

It operates as a juried show, meaning artists apply and are selected based on their work rather than simply purchasing booth space, which has helped the festival maintain a reputation for higher-caliber work across a wide range of mediums

03

The city starts moving

The festival also funds scholarships for local students each year, tying its commercial art sales directly back into community arts education in the Coconut Grove and greater Miami area
