Sarasota’s creative spirit takes center stage at the St. Armands Fall Festival of the Arts, happening October 17–18, 2026, at St. Armands Circle Park. This free outdoor event is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy art, community and the beauty of an autumn weekend in one of Sarasota’s favorite destinations. Visitors can explore an impressive range of work, including paintings, sculpture, jewelry, photography, glass, ceramics, fiber art, metalwork and woodworking. Artists from Florida and across the country will showcase original pieces, making the festival a great place to discover distinctive artwork, meet creators and find a meaningful addition for your home. Planning to attend on Saturday, October 17? Invite friends or family, set aside time to browse the exhibits and enjoy the surrounding St. Armands area. As a local mortgage broker, I love highlighting community events that bring neighbors together and make Sarasota such a special place to call home. Admission is free.
