Overview

For more than 48 years, the Festival of Art has been our island's first rite of spring. It is a celebration of visual, performing, musical and culinary arts. The show was selected as Best Art Show in Alabama for three of the past four years by the luxury maazine "ALABAMA" and is currently ranked nationally at #25 for the top 100 fine art and design shows.

This fine arts festival is completely free with music and entertainment featured on two stages. You can be a part of it by volunteering or purchaing art through our Patron of the Arts program.  There are multiple parking options.
