The 2009 Coconut Grove Arts Festival

According to the Miami city guide, the Coconut Grove Arts Festival is a major annual event in South Florida. Despite the difficult times, the 2009 Coconut Grove Arts Festival (photos) was a huge success with huge crowds, heavy traffic and little available parking spots. Next year, we will make sure arrive early to avoid afternoon congestion. Due to the current state of the economy, 2009 Coconut Grove Arts Festival were required to pay a $7 admission fee.

Apparently, the new fee did not discourage anyone from attending. As mentioned in the Miami city guide, the event’s fine art booths displayed paintings, sculptures, photography and jewels. Coconut Grove chefs gave culinary demonstrations for the 2009 Coconut Grove Arts Festival visitors.

Food pavilions offered foods from all over the world. Local groups provided musical entertainment for the crowd. Overall, attendees seemed to have a great time during the beautiful weekend of the 2009 Coconut Grove Arts Festival. Miami even felt an increase in occupancy of Miami vacation rentals and Florida vacation rentals.

Upcoming Miami Events – February Events in Miami and South Beach

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.
