Each year, the Cape Coral Festival of the Arts is a family event bringing art, culture and fun to Lee County. Held the second weekend of January, this Festival brings hundreds of artists and over 100,000 people to Cape Coral Parkway to participate in Cape Coral’s most successful and long running annual events, featuring paintings, photography, sculpture, jewelry, fine crafts and mixed media. The Festival also includes a children’s play area and activity center and food from a variety of vendors and local restaurants.
