Anna Maria Island Bayfest

Bayfest is Anna Maria Island's signature fall street festival, held each October along historic Pine Avenue in the city of Anna Maria. The event closes the avenue to traffic and fills it with live bands, food and drink vendors, a classic car show, kids activities, and local artisans. Bayfest has a warm, small town feel and is one of the most anticipated community gatherings of the year on the island's north end. Admission to the street festival is generally free, with food and drink available for purchase. Pine Avenue's shops, cafes, and galleries stay open during the celebration, making it easy to combine shopping with the festivities. From The Sandbox Beach House in Holmes Beach, the north end and Pine Avenue are a short trolley ride or drive away, so you can enjoy the evening music and still return to a quiet, pet friendly home base.
