Cape Coral Marketplace Non-Profit

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. The Cape Coral Art Festival & Marketplace invites every business and organization in Lee County to be part of the biggest festival in Lee County! In our 36th year the Cape Coral Art Festival has been ranked the 5th Best Art Festival in the United States by Sunshine Artists Magazine and the Best Art Festival in Lee County by Gulfshore Life Magazine. The Lee County Visitor and Convention Bureau ranks us as the largest special event of any kind in Lee County. The Cape Coral Art Festival invites you to apply to be one of Virtual exhibitors at the 2021 Cape Coral Art Festival & Marketplace. The in-person festival enjoys a physical attendance of 100,000 visitors to the South Cape area in Cape Coral, Florida. Now, for the first time, we are going virtual to make the festival available to everyone with an internet connection. The month-long virtual event gives patrons the opportunity to meet and purchase from artists and businesses. The Festival is live online Jan 4th to Jan 31st at www.capecoralmarketplace.org and www.capecoralfestival.com. During January 9th and 10th, 2021 we will feature scheduled online events.
