The Bonita Springs National Art Festival is February 7-8, 2026 at Riverside Park open daily 10am-5pm with free admission. Consistently ranked among the top fine art festivals in the nation, the Bonita Springs National Fine Art Festivals are a premier destination for serious artists and collectors alike. Held at scenic Riverside Park in downtown Bonita Springs, Florida, this juried event draws thousands of passionate art lovers and buyers from across the region.
Under the new leadership of Richard Sullivan, the festival layout has been thoughtfully redesigned with artists in mind. Each artist will now enjoy a space and a half, allowing for greater visibility and more dynamic presentations. The festival footprint has also been condensed to one side of the street, creating a more walkable, enclosed environment where every visitor has the opportunity to see every artist without leaving the festival grounds.
Proceeds from the festival directly support scholarships for emerging young artists and fund arts education programs in underserved schools—making your participation even more meaningful.
