While we wait to hear the news about this year's show here are some great links to give a real feel of what this big event is all about. This was the 50th annual festival with the committee working year round to make each one better than the last. 380 artists were represented.
Here's a video from NBC News in Miami, an interview with Monty Trainer, the Festival's President: http://www.nbcmiami.com/video/#!/on-air/as-seen-on/Coconut-Grove-Arts-Festival/190704251
Here are more photos of shoppers for some ambiance:

I like this link the best because it features the art giving you a nice overview of the quality of the art, including this mixed media retablo by Nicario Jimenez:

In an adjacent property visitors could attend the St. Stephens Art Show, at the St. Stephens Episcopal Church you could find another 160 artists, although its artist roster was heavier on local and regional artists than Coconut Grove.
