he annual ArtFest Fort Myers, Southwest Florida’s premier art festival, takes place on the waterfront in historic downtown Fort Myers. This is Fort Myers’ only free art extravaganza, decorating the downtown with exceptional artwork, entertainment and children’s art activities. Attendees enjoy and purchase artwork in a variety of mediums and prices from nationally recognized artists from across the country and around the world. It’s better than a gallery – there is lots of variety – you can talk to the artists – you can view the work of over 200 fine artists in a single weekend – you can introduce your children to the magic of original art.
