Thank you!
The damage caused by the hurricane is slowly being repaired. The festival grounds will be ready and approximately ½ of the condos on the beach will be occupied by February 2025. This combined by over 90% of homes being repaired and lived in. Many rooms will be available for visitors to the Festival. The traffic will be heavy on the bridge to the Island, but work will be coming to an end soon. We look forward to seeing all the visitors and world famous artists on February 16th & 17th 2025.

ABOUT THE SANIBEL-CAPTIVA ARTS & CRAFTS FESTIVAL
What began as a humble pancake breakfast featuring a few local artists more than 40 years ago has grown into one of Southwest Florida’s premier juried art shows. The Sanibel-Captiva Rotary Club’s Annual Arts & Crafts Festival is held over President’s Day weekend and features more than 85 of the country’s most talented artists.
​
For a small donation, you will be ushered into the place where fine art, island history and nature meet.
​
Walking through our tree-lined show is like visiting dozens of art galleries simultaneously. While the viewing experience is amazing in itself, you’ll no doubt want to take home some of the one-of- a-kind pieces for sale by the talented artists. Whether you’re looking for an acrylic painting to fit perfectly over your sofa, a hand-blown glass sculpture to feature on a bookshelf or that perfect gold gemstone necklace for your granddaughter’s graduation gift, you will certainly find it here. That…and so much more.
