The Downtown Doral Arts Festival is a 2-day, free-to-the-public community event taking place November 14-15, 2026, from 10 AM to 6 PM along two city blocks of 53rd Street in Downtown Doral, Florida. The festival is located in a vibrant community of dedicated art buyers and supporters of the arts, with anticipated attendance of 8,000 attendees. The beautiful tree-lined street is home to restaurants, coffee houses, nightlife, and other retailers.
