Now presenting its 37th annual event, the South Miami Rotary Art Festival has appreciably developed over the years.  From starting as a craftsmen festival of 25 booths in 1984, it has grown to a highly recognized juried event showcasing over 150 vendors spanning all four blocks of South Miami’s main street.  The artists come from all over the United States and Canada. Over the years the show has engaged local musicians to entertain visitors adjacent to the international food court.

Named a Sunshine Artist 200 Best Show in America (2018), the event has also earned the ArtFairSourceBook.com to the AFSB Blue Chip 100 Fine Art Event.  It is clearly one of Miami-Dade’s most anticipated events.
