NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Few patrons of the arts braved the rain and cold of Saturday, Feb. 27, to check out the weekend Art Fiesta at Old Fort Park on Sams Avenue. But on Sunday, temperatures warmed up to the low 50s and the skies were sunny for those who wanted to get away from Bike Week and enjoy the arts.

In all, there were 200 booths for the 48th annual fiesta.
