For more than 40 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.  With more than 100 artists working in a dazzling variety of medias, festival-goers always have plenty to see, hear, touch, taste and experience.

This fine arts festival is completely FREE with music and entertainment featured on two stages.  
Satellite public parking is available with shuttles provided by B.R.A.T.S. for a $5 daily rate.
