Created by the Rotary Club of Cape Coral 40 years ago, the Cape Coral Art Festival is one of the largest coastal shows in the state of Florida with an annual attendance over 140,000 people. Nearly a thousand art and nautical exhibitors have the opportunity to display their products as coastal enthusiasts come from all over the state to browse the juried art show, business marketplace, multiple food courts, and now the addition of the Boat Show and Outdoor Expo.
2025's new addition:
SW Florida's Nautical Mile Magazine has offered to help manage the new addition which will for the first time include Florida's coastal toys such as boats, jet skis, marine and outdoor exhibitors, 4-wheel off road vehicles, Jeeps, monster trucks, outdoor accessories, and even kayaks and coastal businesses.
They said it couldn't be done, but.... the event starts by closing Cape Coral Parkway for nearly a mile and rerouting traffic from Friday evening through Sunday evening to host a coastal event with more attendees than the Miami International Boat Show.
2025's addition includes almost 3,000 feet of street for exhibitor space on Cape Coral Parkway extending from Chester Street to Coronado Parkway. Spaces are 15' deep using both eastbound and westbound lanes of Cape Coral Parkway.
Exhibitors are first-come/first serve and applications are emailed upon vendor approval.
The expansion is primarily boats and outdoor toys, though booth vendors are welcome to apply if they have a nautical/coastal theme. Send a description of your display with photos.
