For the first time in years the Cape Coral Art Festival is adding space for new exhibitors
The Rotary Club of Cape Coral has invited boats, cycles & "outdoor" businesses to be exhibitors at their annual festival joining the existing hundreds of art and business supporters. The show has added over 2,000-feet to Cape Coral’s downtown Parkway as traffic is re-routed for two days to host a coastal event that attracts over 140,000 attendees.
By comparison, the Miami Boat Show is known as one of the most attended coastal/nautical shows in Florida and has an estimated attendance of 100,000 spread out over several days. This is a unique opportunity for a nautical or coastal business to get exposure in a prosperous community on SW Florida’s Gulf coast.
Attendees come from over a hundred miles away and spend hours browsing the ongoing diverse array of artwork in a juried art show with over 300 fine art exhibitors, hundreds more vendors and exhibitors in a coastal marketplace, live entertainment, food & drink at eight different food courts, plus now the addition of boats, nautical businesses, motorcycles, and other outdoor toys.
As in any business, customer retention says it all, and exhibitor retention at this event is almost 100% every year. It's a unique opportunity to get a business in front of this many people in one weekend, especially with all of the new residents in SW Florida who have yet to connect with local businesses.
Standard booth space is $600 and expo exhibitors are 15’ deep X $35 per linear foot while space lasts. As of November 4, more than half of the new addition is sold out.
Don’t miss the opportunity to be an exhibitor, and let the festivities begin!
