Gorgeous oceanside location with bus shuttles and parking was available across the street for twenty dollars. We went with the $20 option which was without a doubt well worth it. The festival was packed with people of all ages & it was lovely seeing so many people spending the day outdoors with their precious fur babies. Several food vendors were on hand selling crabcakes, gyros, lobster rolls, souvlaki, stir fry, frozen lemonade, fresh squeezed lemonade, and so much more. We had lunch before we came so I didn't try any of the food. The smell of freshly popped popcorn was tempting but I wasn't hungry. The artists set up tents, gallery style with special lighting to showcase their work. Jewelry, sculpture, woodwork, paintings, large unusual mailboxes, fine delicate silk tops; it was all here plus so much more. Coming here wasn't planned but once I found out about it I was excited to go, although I do wish I had my sneakers on. I had a good time and enjoyed some sunny Florida weather for a change. This is an annual event and I hope to return next year, in my sneakers of course.

It was supposed to be a cloudy hot day on this wonderful Sunday in Juno Beach. I had read from one…read moreof my Yelp friends that there was a Juno ArtFest by the ocean on A1A. From what I read, there are about three hundred national and international artists showcasing art of all kinds. As we drove close to the ArtFest, we noticed that there was preferred parking for twenty dollars. I of course was not going to have any of that. So I found a close by hideaway and parked for free with others that had the same idea. The good news was that my car was still there when I returned three hours later. It was a free pet friendly experience with many diverse art items on display such as sculpture, jewelry, woodwork, paintings, wearable art, live plants, along with delicious fast food and drinks. It was sweaty blast and somehow we found a way to once again purchase numerous creative artistic pictures & sculptures that we will wonder why we bought a month later. Well, we will probably give them as gifts to our kids which they will probably re-gift them eventually to somebody else. Overall it was a great way to spend a wonderful beautiful Sunday in Juno Beach.

The street is shut down so crafters and artists can sell their wares. Admission to the festival is free. There were many tents selling clothes, jewelry, art, ceramics, food, plants, accessories, and so much more. You can also shop and dine at all of the businesses lining the street and there was live music by the water. Parking was free and a breeze and Kiwanis Park. There are also many other free lots in the downtown area. Stuart is one of my favorite cities because it is so quaint and picturesque. They were the perfect hosts for a such a family friendly festival.

It's located in Downtown Jensen Beach and they close of the main street, and one street over so vendors can set up shop along main street, and the rides and stages etc are one block over. We walked down mainstreet and perused the vendors which were selling a wide range of interesting art, some clothing, jewelry, and some food as well. The carnivalish street has lots of activities for kids, and some more food and drink options as well. The stage is set up in a parking lot with some seats and room to dance. I thought it was well laid out and looked fun. I wasn't particularly wowed by Pineapple festival, but we don't have kids and besides the restaurants that we know and enjoy on the perimeter there isn't much for us after wandering the vendor lined main street. However we'll most likely be back next year to support the community.

In fact there was only one vendor there selling pineapple slush things and that was it! There was live entertainment which was great and several carnival rides. There was a great variety of fair food, however I was expecting pineapple flavored things and fresh pineapples for sale and that was not the case. Hopefully next year. The festival wasn't very large, we basically walked around the block. We went on few admission day and it was nice weather therefore we enjoyed the short walk but I would have been upset if I had paid to get in. Parking is awful.... there isn't any.

There was plenty parking and police They had a lot of food vendors as well as retail vendors. Pop up bars, in every single corner, live music and a bouncy area for the kiddos. We had a nice time trying a few different food vendors, but as expected everything was SUPER expensive. A lobster roll was raging from $29-35 a roll. Some looked better than others , but we were there specifically for Dog pound lobster rolls which are always delicious. Not many areas to sit and eat so try to go with handheld options. Overall it was nice experience, but I'm not sure if that's something I would d again.

Street Festival / Ethnic Festival…read more Being of Italian descent, I was happy to see signs for this festival over at Abacoa and headed over. Aside from being Italian (Sicilian to be exact) and living almost my entire life in NYC, I was somewhat missing the experience of the church bazaars that are all over the area in NY. To be fair, there are a lot of Italian people in south Florida, so in as far as food and goods, I can get those. In any case, I grabbed my boys and headed over to see what it was all about. Abacoa frequently has something going on with the streets closed around the band-shell area and this is where I found the Little Italy fest. Live music was going on when we got there - a mix of Italian, Sinatra and other Italian-esque type music was in the mix. I grabbed me a Peroni birra and spotted a zeppole stand so headed over for a bag of fried goodness. My kids never saw that as we had moved out of NY before they were born and they loved it. There were plenty of food vendors and all the favorites were represented: Sausage & Peppers, bracciole and pastries- the Italian holy trinity lol. Prices were street fair crazy but all in all it was a nice little reminder of who we are and where we are from. A smaller festival, easy to walk and I would hit it again next year. Recommended

Could've missed it, but I didn't see any seafood. Enjoyed my Italian sausage but it was on a bun, not an Italian roll, $8. The Zeppoles were good, a bit expensive, 6 for $10 or 12 for $15. More expensive than my sausage. Kid dancers, a pizza eating contest and some singers entertained on stage. The most innovative dessert was a Cannoli Kit for $6. Best part was enjoying the beautiful weather outside.

When the lineup comes out a lot of friends bow out early saying they don't care for any of the bands. I'm the opposite. I can always see a couple or more performers that I know and like, and a couple more I'm fine with. then I listen to some of the others and find some that are hidden gems. before I know it, We are trying not to go everyday. This year Every day had an act we liked, but Sunday had the most. It's a tricky thing to have a blast the night before work, but we figured it out. We skipped the 1st couple hours of the show but we were there before 2PM. Plenty of people were there already. The North stage had more than a thousand people possibly, which was alot for so early in the day. We caught a show and then walked around. The layout was dependably the same as most every year. We mall-walked through the area with the artisans. I was impressed that many of the booths had some of the best stuff I've seen. I'm glad I don't really have wall space or I mighta been tempted to get something and contribute to the artists cause. We finally made it to OUR band, AJR. What a show. they crushed the performance, and had the place going crazy. No regrets, very glad we went up on a Sunday. Until next year..

It's only about a 12 minute walk really from any of the lots. We packed up. 4 chairs that we could put on our backs like backpacks and walk to Sunset. You get a wristband to enter and that was easy along with the scan of the tickets. There are 3 stages and the area is easy to walk thru. We were glad we had our chairs as no one wants to sit on the ground. I wish there were some healthy options at SunFest to munch on so I waited until I got home to eat. The weather was beautiful and I was thinking how I wish there were fireworks again! Have to think if I'd return - very on the fence about it.

The fair is located on Dixie Hwy across from Peninsula Coffee and Chuckles along the rail road tracks. It runs from Bridge Road to Venus Street, Admission is free but they were collecting donations to fund local programs. The event is hosted by the Hobe Sound Chamber of Commerce and produced by Howard Alan Events. You can catch a free shuttle bus at the Pine School but I was able to find parking close to the festival on the side of Dixie Hwy. The art for sale included sculpture, paintings, artisan jewelry, photographs, ceramics, wood, metal, and textiles. All of the artists are available to discuss their work. The festival also had food and drink vendors and other people selling plants and flea market items. The Chamber of Commerce was selling festival T-shirts. I saw earrings as inexpensive as $5 to large scale sculptures that were many thousands of dollars. Of course I love anything with mermaids, sea turtles, and flamingoes. The art definitely leaned toward the tropical here. There was a lot of beautiful jewelry that caught my eye as did the carved birds and purses made from book covers. I really liked how there was a variety of items to choose from. This is a dog friendly event and well behaved leashed dogs are welcome. Aside from looking at the art, dog watching at art festivals is my second favorite activity. The weather was beautiful and it was so nice to enjoy the festival and fresh air. It is too late to attend this years festival but mark you calendars for this fun February event when it comes back next year for it's 22nd year.
