The festival features hundreds of artists exhibiting everything from painting and sculpture to jewelry and fashion, so there’s definitely plenty to see.
In addition to the artwork on display, CGAF also offers live music and dance performances, food vendors, and family-friendly activities.

Coconut Grove Arts Festival is a signature event!
Coconut Grove is a charming village within the city of Miami. The Festival lies just south of downtown Miami, next to the lovely Biscayne Bay.
The Coconut Grove Arts Festival 2022 will be nearly one mile of arts, food, and fun. The festival takes place on McFarlane Road, South Bayshore Drive, and Pan American Drive.
A portion of the proceeds from Festival admissions benefits the Coconut Grove Arts and Historical Association, which funds year-round arts programs benefitting a scholarship fund that creates opportunities for Miami-Dade County’s talented students to continue their art education.
The Coconut Grove Arts Festival took fifth place in the 2013 edition of “The Best Art Fairs in the US and Canada”, and received the awards for “Best Art Fair”, “Best Southern Art Fair”, and “Favorite Urban Fair”.
