Coconut Grove Arts Festival

Every year over President's Day Weekend a couple of hundred thousand people descend into the heart of Coconut Grove for a massive art festival that features over 350 artists. Lamar's school is in the area and so the kids are out for four days. The school actually runs their own little art show, called Art is in the Heart, during the festival to raise money.
The art is fantastic, and of course, festival food is always good. Gotta have that fried dough!! It was good times, especially when Olivia got so tired that she started to walk around on her knees. At one point she just sat on the curb and refused to budge.
Corn Dog Art!

Many of my favorite artists that were there did not want you to photograph their work, but there are many that will. Here is a small selection of the cool art that was available, too bad I couldn't afford any of it.
