Cape Coral Marketplace

Nov. 13, 2020 After many months of hand-wringing, sleepless nights, and more Zoom meetings than we can count, we have decided that Cape Coral Art Festival & Market Place can not be held in person. Trust us, we are just as disappointed as you are, but know we did not make this decision lightly. Above all else, we want to thank you, our exhibitors, our fans, our partners, and the City of Cape Coral for the support you have given us over these past few months The Cape Coral Arts Festival & Marketplace is Lee County’s largest Special Event according to the Lee County Tourist Development Council and the Lee County Visitors and Convention Bureau bringing over 120,000 attendees to enjoy the arts in January 2020. In 2020 we were Voted the best Outdoor Event by the readers of Gulfshore Life Magazine and the 5th best Art Festival in the nation by Sunshine Artists. For 36 years the Rotary Club of Cape Coral has been proud to bring this event to the community. The virtual event gives patrons the opportunity to meet and purchase art from exhibiting artists and craftspeople. Our goal is to provide an online experience to the public and our selected exhibitors of actually attending the event live. Talk to the Exhibitors, tour their studios, view their booths and all from the safety and comfort of your home. Proceeds from the Festival help the Rotary Club of Cape Coral to fulfill its mission of “Service above Self”. View our programs at

Nov. 13, 2020 After many months of hand-wringing, sleepless nights, and more Zoom meetings than we can count, the City of Cape Coral has decided that Cape Coral Art Festival & Market Place can not be held in person. Trust us, we are just as disappointed as you are, but know that we have known this was a possibility so while we had been moving forward with an in-person event, we were also working with a vendor who could help us shift and make the event virtual if required. Above all else, we want to thank you, our exhibitors, our fans, our partners, and the City of Cape Coral for the support you have given us over these past few months.
