Long weekend of art, food, music and fun

Let the art begin - and the food, music and fun. The Coconut Grove Arts Festival and St. Stephen's Arts Show begin today. Both shows are right in the center of the Grove. Gates open at 10 am Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

For all that's going on, here is the Coconut Grove Arts Festival website:
