Admission to the festival is completely free, welcoming more than 25,000 art enthusiasts from South Florida and beyond. It’s the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in stunning artwork, explore a lively marketplace, and enjoy live music performances that add to the festive atmosphere.
This year’s festival promises even more excitement, with a beer and wine garden presented by Bay 13 Brewery & Kitchen, a variety of delicious food trucks, and a Children’s Art Park sponsored by UHealth Jackson Urgent Care, where kids can create their own masterpieces. Families can also enjoy interactive activities in the Entertainment Zone sponsored by TD Bank, making this event a delight for all ages.
