41st Annual Melbourne Art Festival - Sat. & Sun April 25 & 26, 2026 9-5 - Wickham Park, Melbourne FL

The Melbourne Art Festival is a nationally recognized juried fine art show held each year in Melbourne, FL. The festival is held on the last full weekend of April in beautiful Wickham Park (41st to be held April 25-26, 2026). The proceeds from this event are used to promote and encourage artistic endeavors, local high school scholarships, and art education of our local students in Brevard County, FL. Parking, admission, live entertainment and kid's activities are free. You can find the schedule of events, artist and sponsor info along with more info at: http://www.melbournearts.org/

Unfortunately it is true: The Board of Directors of the Melbourne Art Festival, Inc. has voted to cancel the 2027 festival due to funding uncertainty and a need for new volunteer leadership.

While the 42nd annual festival will not take place in 2027, we are shifting our focus to a Spring Fine Art Auction in spring 2027 to raise scholarship funds for local students. The Board will review the possibility of future festivals following the auction.

We are deeply grateful to the artists, sponsors, and volunteers who have supported us for over 40 years. We are still looking for passionate individuals to step into leadership and planning roles to help shape our future.

Interested in helping? Please contact us at [email protected] or visit melbournearts.org for more information.

Woof woof! Hi hooman! 🐾

Your good pup here … are you looking for a super fun adventure with me, your fur baby, today? Come sniff around with me at the 41st Melbourne Art Festival in Wickham Park! It’s totally dog-friendly and they even have separate dog park areas for the big pups AND the little zoomers like me.

Just remember: we gotta stay on leash (rules are rules, even if I really want to chase that butterfly), it’s getting hot out so please bring lots of water and my favorite bowl, and stick to the grassy bits so our paws don’t get ouchie-burnt.

I’ll be there wagging my tail, waiting for belly rubs and maybe a sneaky treat. See you soon? Bark bark! 🐶💛
