Three days, three closing times
The 63rd Coconut Grove Arts Festival runs Saturday February 13, Sunday February 14 and Monday February 15, 2027. Every day opens at 10 a.m. The first two days run eight hours, to 6 p.m. The last runs seven, to 5 p.m.
Plan each day against one of those three windows.
What the gate turns away
The FAQ publishes the bag ceiling. The limit is 12 inches by 12 inches. A bag that measures larger stays outside.
Chairs of every kind are barred, folding and camping chairs included. Wagons are barred, with one exception for a wagon used as a stroller with a child. Tents, large umbrellas and shade structures are barred.
Outside food, liquor and beverages are barred, with exceptions for a doctor's note on food allergies and for religious reasons. Glass in any form is barred. Cans are barred. Cameras with detachable lenses, selfie sticks, action cameras and drones are barred. The only animal allowed through is a service animal in a vest for identification.
Pack to that list. A 12 by 12 tote holds a phone, a hat, a jacket and a folded programme.
The walk: McFarlane, Bayshore, Pan American
The grounds follow three streets: McFarlane Road, South Bayshore Drive and Pan American Drive. The address is 2700 S. Bayshore Drive, Miami, FL 33133. Biscayne Bay sits at the edge of the grounds, just south of downtown Miami.
One activation sits away from the three-street core. Inner Artist runs at Regatta Park, 3500 Pan American Drive. That address adds a stop to the walk and puts the children's programme on its own block.
Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Walk in from the ride share drop. Take the booths in one direction and hold the second pass for the afternoon.
The homepage counters read 275 artists across 15 mediums, from clay and fiber to printmaking and wood. Mixed media runs in two and three dimensions.
Two activations break the booth walk. Arts & Drafts sets a La Rubia beer garden against a live painting wall. The Stacks stacks shipping containers into a pyramid and hands the faces to South Florida muralists for live painting.
Sunday, the middle day
Sunday runs the same 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. window. Use it for the section left unvisited on Saturday and for the Inner Artist programme at Regatta Park.
Inner Artist holds a Young Collectors Club for children aged 6 to 12. Five dollars buys a piece donated by more than 100 festival artists.
The posted schedules date from the 2026 edition. Read the 2026 agenda for the shape of a day. The page carries no 2027 publication date.
Monday, the 5 p.m. finish
Monday opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m. The 5 p.m. close leaves daylight for the trip out.
Plan the last hour. Buy on the way to the exit and carry the piece to the pickup point before 5.
Getting in and out without a car
The organiser gives ride share riders one instruction. Open the app, enter Coconut Grove Arts Festival as the destination, and the driver takes you to the grounds.
Drivers get separate guidance. I-95 southbound at Exit 1A, the Rickenbacker Causeway, carries the congestion the festival flags. Its preferred route runs 836 West and then 27th Avenue south. Parking sits in garages, on-street meters and private lots across the neighbourhood. Traffic updates run through the 511 Traveler Information Service.
On foot, three streets and one park cover the whole festival. Walk in from the drop, stay inside the grounds through the day, and walk out the same way.
Book the return ride from the point where the driver dropped you. Allow time at pickup on Monday at 5.
What the site leaves open
The posted stage agenda dates from 2026. The FAQ reads that artist applications closed for 2026. The tickets page links to the ticket platform and prints no price.
The festival office answers the rest. The number is 305-447-0401 and the support address is Support@CGAF.com. Ticketing support runs on (877) 253-8717.
