The Coconut Grove Arts Festival is set to make a splash once again in the heart of Miami, bringing with it a host of art enthusiasts and culture vultures for its 62nd iteration starting this Saturday. As reported by NBC Miami, this year's event is to span three days, from February 14 through the 16, along the scenic waterfront of Biscayne Bay, flourishing with more than 275 artists and 15 different mediums displaying their creative output.
For those eager to fully immerse directly into the local art scene, 'The Stacks' and 'Arts & Drafts' sections are touted to be especially interactive for attendees, with tasting options to seamlessly pair with striking visual arts. In addition, the 'Inner Artists' program is looking to inspire budding creatives, promising interactive installations and hands-on projects for the younger crowd, as detailed by NBC Miami. Music performances are also on the docket to carve out the sonic backdrop as the festival gets underway each day.
Festivalgoers should budget for admission, with tickets sold online in tiers ranging from $29 for a one-day general admission pass to $40 for a Monday-only Family Fest Pack. With parking expected to be limited, organizers are urging attendees to use Metro or rideshare services instead of driving.
Road closures will also be in effect ahead of the festival. According to Coconut Grove’s official website, major streets will begin closing Friday, February 13, to prepare for the event, with closures expected to remain in place through Tuesday morning, February 17. Residents and visitors are advised to plan ahead to avoid traffic disruptions.
