Coconut Grove Arts Festival

From February 16th to the 18th, the Coconut Grove Arts Festival will be in Miami Florida. The festival will be open each day from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and is held in the streets of Coconut Grove. The Coconut Grove Arts Festival it offers the chance to see great art and meet with the artists themselves.

Attention Art Lovers! The biggest art event in Miami will arrive to Coconut Grove this weekend. There is going to be everything at this Miami event. Last year, I really enjoyed a little stand of hand made soaps. I know soap isn’t precisely art, yet I found it peculiar, and the soaps were awesome they smelled great and were pretty. Also at this family-oriented event, the little ones will have lots of things to do. Just beware the parking issue is big. I can suggest you to park on the Coconut Grove Metrorail station’s parking and walk from there to the festival in order to avoid heavy traffic. The other option will be to park along the 27^th street were several buildings offer their fronts for parking. The parking fees can move from $10 to $20.

The Food Network South Beach Food and Wine Festival is one of the most popular events in Miami and it features several TV personalities. The event will also feature live music, wine and food degustations, and plenty of activities for the kids. A family event you should not miss!
