It’s that time of year again when the downtown area of Cape Coral is filled with the works of over 300 artists and craftsmen, who come from near and far. The Cape Coral Art Festival is one of the most significant events in Lee County and draws over 140,000 art lovers. The fun-filled event offers original works of art—from paintings to jewelry to crafts— and various food vendors make it festive and fun. This event is now in its 41st year—thanks to the Rotary Club! The festival takes place from Saturday, January 10 from 10 am to 5 pm through Sunday, January 11, from 10 am to 4 pm, right in the vibrant downtown area of Cape Coral.
“Cape Coral Parkway and SE 47th Terrace capture the city’s spirit, offering a blend of shopping, dining, and cultural experiences that make it a must-visit destination,” says Kaitlyn Mullen Senior Public Information Specialist.

Also, there is a Fine Art Gallery, a Gift Shop, and an Art Supply store—right on the premises—with a variety of art supplies for classes.
