Coral Springs, Florida – This weekend, the Coral Springs Festival of the Arts will take its final bow after nearly two decades of celebrating the local arts scene. The 19th and final edition of the festival is set to take place on Saturday and Sunday, from 10 AM to 5 PM, at The Walk of Coral Springs. For nearly 30,000 visitors each year, the festival has been a cherished event, offering a vibrant mix of art, entertainment, and community spirit.
Produced by the nonprofit Coral Springs Festival of the Arts organization and Howard Alan Events, the festival has become a staple of the city’s cultural calendar. Over the years, it has drawn art lovers, families, and tourists alike to experience its unique blend of fine art, crafts, and performances. This year’s festival promises to be no different, as more than 175 fine artisans and crafters will showcase their talents. The event will also feature local businesses, offering products and services for attendees to explore.
One of the highlights of the festival has always been the professional juried art and craft show, where visitors can browse and purchase works from some of the region’s most talented artists. From sculptures and paintings to handmade jewelry and textiles, the festival offers a wide variety of unique pieces for all tastes and budgets.
“We are proud to have hosted so many incredible artists and craftspeople over the years, and we’re excited to make this final year one to remember,” said a spokesperson for the festival. “It’s been an honor to bring this event to the community, and we’re hopeful that it will continue to inspire future generations of art lovers.”
For those planning to attend, the festival offers free parking at two convenient locations: the City Hall Parking Garage at 9500 West Sample Road and the Coral Springs Center for the Arts at 2855 Coral Springs Drive. Organizers have arranged for a shuttle service to run every 15 minutes between these locations, from 9:30 AM to 6 PM on both days. The shuttle is designed to accommodate small and medium-sized strollers and walkers, making it easy for families and individuals with mobility challenges to attend.
