Located near downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key, Phillippi Estate Park has high visibility from US-41/Tamiami Trail. Each day the park welcomes thousands of seasonal tourists and affluent local residents to see concerts, attend cultural events, music festivals, and a weekly farmers market. The picturesque setting with its expansive lawn, gazebo, and large parking area makes this the perfect location for our quality art shows.
Phillippi Estate Park is very show-friendly with Friday move-in, real restrooms, and plenty of convenient parking for all – most artists can park directly behind or very close to his/her booths!
Event hours are Saturday, 10-5 and Sunday, 10-5. Friday move-in; plenty of great food, music and fun for all.
