Thank you!
The damage caused by the last few hurricanes continues to be repaired. The festival grounds are ready and over 70% of the condos on the beach should be occupied by February 2027. This combined by over 95% of homes being repaired and lived in. Many rooms will be available for visitors to the Festival. We look forward to seeing all the visitors and world famous artists on February 13th & 14th 2027.

ABOUT THE SANIBEL-CAPTIVA ARTS & CRAFTS FESTIVAL
What began as a humble pancake breakfast featuring a few local artists more than 40 years ago has grown into one of Southwest Florida’s premier juried art shows. The Sanibel-Captiva Rotary Club’s Annual Arts & Crafts Festival is held over President’s Day weekend and features more than 100 of the country’s most talented artists.

For a small donation, you will be ushered into the place where fine art, island history and nature meet.

Walking through our tree-lined show is like visiting dozens of art galleries simultaneously. While the viewing experience is amazing in itself, you’ll no doubt want to take home some of the one-of- a-kind pieces for sale by the talented artists. Whether you’re looking for an acrylic painting to fit perfectly over your sofa, a hand-blown glass sculpture to feature on a bookshelf or that perfect gold gemstone necklace for your granddaughter’s graduation gift, you will certainly find it here. That…and so much more.
