One of Florida's most artistic towns, Gulfport, has a picturesque waterfront arts festival every winter. The Gulfport Fine Arts Festival hosts a select group of juried artists from across the country along Gulfport's waterfront. Nestled against the waters of Boca Ciega Bay, a park where a historic hotel once sat is home to artists for two days.

The boutique festival welcomes artists in all media, and those who participate in this annual celebration of fine art tell us they love the festival for three reasons: the intimate gathering, the caliber of the buyers, and a show in a seaside city that celebrates art and artists in every corner. Select lodging available; restaurants, coffee shops, and bars within walking distance of the festival.
