Bonita Springs Invitational Art Festival

The Bonita Bay Invitational Art Festival will be held at The Promenade at Bonita Bay on Saturday February 16 from noon to 7pm and on Sunday January 17 from 10am-6pm. The Promenade at Bonita Bay is located along 41 South at 26795 South Bay Dr, Bonita Springs. The festival is placed within the shaded tree lined walkways and paths of the interior courtyard of The Promenade at Bonita Bay. Visitors to the event will walk along the gorgeous pedestrian footbridges that pass over fountains and guide you past the wonderful boutique shops and wonderful restaurants of this vibrant lifestyle center. The artist’s displays will be spread out along the pathways so that visitors will be able to enjoy large spaces and open areas to view the artwork of the participating artists and crafts people.
Artists skilled in painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass blowing, jewelry and more from across the area and across the globe will be happy to show you their work and tell you how they create each unique piece.
While you are at the event you must stop by DeRomas Gourmet Market, the finest and most delicious market anywhere along the gulf coast. The market will take you on a virtual journey to Europe where you will find amazing pastries and food selections. Stop in to Roy’s or Molino’s for a glass of wine and a bite to eat. Check out a ballroom dancing class at Enchanted Ballroom, stop in at “to the Moon” to browse the new fashions and be sure to visit The Little Paris Shop for wonderful finds and perhaps a cup of tea.
The shops along the paths of the Promenade offer you selections of clothing and home goods that you are unlikely to find anywhere else in Southwest Florida. With a charming location, wonderful selections of cuisines, charming boutiques and shops, and a collection of terrific art and artists those who visit are sure to have a wonderful time. Almost forgot, the Center Bar offers a great location to sit outdoors to listen to some of the finest live music in the area.
