Labor Day weekend in Venice, Florida, offers more than just sandy beaches and Gulf breezes. It also sees the return of the annual Labor Day Weekend Downtown Venice Craft Festival! September 6th through the 7th, 2025.
The Downtown Venice Craft Festival is an open-air celebration that transforms Miami Avenue West – just blocks from our Venice, FL vacation rentals – into a vibrant showcase of artistry, craftsmanship, and fun. The festival draws artisans from across the country, who come to showcase their very best offerings.
Visitors can peruse a wide array of handmade goods at the lively, open-air marketplace, 10am to 4pm each day. Everything from hand-poured candles and ceramics to jewelry, woodwork, photography, and coastal-inspired décor. It’s the perfect chance to discover one-of-a-kind treasures for your home, wardrobe, or as thoughtful gifts. You never know what you’ll find!
One of the signature features of the Venice Craft Festival is its Green Market. Here you’ll find specialty foods, plants, and gourmet treats to take home. Think fresh orchids, tangy sauces, artisan dips, and delightful, handcrafted soaps. The kind of finds that bring a little bit of the festival back into your daily routine.
Labor Day Weekend Downtown Venice Craft Festival 2025
The Downtown Venice Craft Festival is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, September 6-7, at 200 Miami Ave W in Venice, FL.
The festival setting downtown adds even more charm. The historic district’s walkable streets and welcoming storefronts create the perfect backdrop for a leisurely day out. Attendees can easily step into local boutiques, grab a fresh coffee, or rehcarge with a meal at one of the many nearby restaurants.
Even better, the festival is less than a mile north of your Banyan House vacation rental. Drive there by car – or just as easily get there by foot with a pleasant, 15 minute stroll up Harbor Drive to the event’s location. Best of all, admission is free!
Whether you’re searching for a unique keepsake, or simply want to soak up the festive atmosphere, the Downtown Venice Craft Festival promises a memorable way to enjoy your Labor Day weekend. Mark your calendar now!
