Sanibel Island was again named one of the “the best destinations in the world” in Condé Nast Traveler magazine’s 21^st Annual Readers’ Choice Awards competition, earning a spot on the Top 10 North America Islands list.

This is one of the reasons why we will be displaying the works of 76 of the most interesting and unique artists gathered in one of the finest locations in one of Florida’s most picturesque communities. The Sanibel Fall Art Festival promises to be Sanibel Islands Premier Art Event. The festival features the finest artists, gourmet food booths, and live entertainment.

On Friday we will have Mr. Ken Rose with his acoustic guitar playing from 11AM-2PM and on Saturday The BIG ARTS Chorus Directed by Steven Cramer will be performing a sampling of their Holiday Event Concert Event.  The Holiday Chorus Event takes place at BIG ARTS on Saturday night. Tickets for the event will be available at the festival.

Parking Areas are available along Periwinkle Drive and at the Library on Dunlop adjacent to the event. Parking areas will be well marked and we will have parking attendants to assist you. We will have a full shuttle service available. Handicap and parking for anyone who needs assistance will be available at the festival entrance.

You can spend the day in style walking along art-lined pathways. Take a moment to relax and mingle in one of our many display areas. Choose from dozens of food items and have the opportunity to meet and get to know each artist.

Proceeds from the event will go toward the programs at The Sanibel Community House and BIG Arts Sanibel.
