Inaugural Wellen Park Fine Art Festival

Things To Do

Art takes center stage in one of Southwest Florida’s most sought-after communities when the inaugural Wellen Park Fine Art Festival takes place on February 14–15, 2026, transforming the Downtown Wellen Great Lawn into an elegant open-air gallery. Debuting Valentine’s Day weekend, the festival offers a refined way to celebrate — inviting couples, collectors, and art lovers to stroll the Great Lawn, discover original works, and enjoy a relaxed, creative experience together. The festival will feature handcrafted works by accomplished artisans from Florida and across the United States, showcasing a wide range of fine art disciplines. Guests can explore striking paintings, expressive sculpture, refined jewelry, photography, glass, ceramics, fiber and wearable art, mixed media, woodworking, and more — with each piece created by the artist on site.
