Downtown Venice Art Festival: October 31–November 1 Weekend Guide

The Downtown Venice Art Festival returns to West Venice Avenue on October 31 and November 1, 2026. This free outdoor event brings original artwork into the historic downtown, with the organizer announcing more than 100 artists. The festival address is the 200–300 block of West Venice Avenue in Venice, Florida. It offers a chance to browse across different media and speak with artists about the work on display.

What to expect

Howard Alan Events lists painting, photography, jewelry, sculpture, ceramics, glass and mixed media among the festival’s offerings. Start with an unhurried pass through the booths to see which pieces draw you back. Ask about the materials, how a work was made, and whether framing or delivery is included. If you are looking for something for a particular space, bring measurements and a photograph of the room.

Plan your visit

Confirm the closing time before you travel: the organizer’s schedule lists Saturday 10 a.m.–6 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m.–5 p.m., while text elsewhere on the same page gives a different Sunday closing time. Admission is free. Check current parking, accessibility and weather arrangements with the organizer. Allow extra time for downtown traffic and discuss safe packing or shipping with the artist before buying a large or fragile piece.
