For more than 70 years, the Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce has represented a network of businesses, merchants, restaurants, financial institutions, hotels, and area attractions in Miami’s most internationally renowned village, Coconut Grove.

Situated on a spectacular waterfront along Biscayne Bay, Coconut Grove has been a center of commerce and prosperity since it was first settled in the late 1800s. Coconut Grove is the site of Miami’s first hotel, the Bayview Inn, later known as the Peacock Inn, built in 1882 on the bayfront site that is now Peacock Park.

Today, Coconut Grove, or “The Grove” as it is called by locals, is one of Miami’s most sough after neighborhoods, known for its lush tropical canopy and winding streets with whimsical names such as Tigertail and Kumquat where you can often spot roaming peacocks and colorful parrots.

About Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove is the place for thriving businesses, merchants, art galleries, financial institutions, international headquarters, world class hotels, dynamic restaurants, outdoor cafes, bicycles, pedestrians, sailboats, and interesting people of all ages and diverse backgrounds.

The Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce is proud of the role it plays in our village, our community, and our City. We continue to work closely with our members to maintain prosperity, opportunity and quality of life.

With its dynamic waterfront location, the Grove is home to the Coconut Grove Sailing Club, Coral Reef Yacht Club and Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, the U.S. Olympic Sailing Center, and Shake-a-Leg Miami, a unique boating center serving the disabled and disadvantaged communities, as well as the general public. Coconut Grove is a renowned sailing community with many world-class regattas taking place during the season, starting with the Columbus Day Regatta in October, the Orange Bowl Regatta in December, the Rolex Cup in January, and many more through May.

The Grove’s idyllic village location provides an excellent backdrop to some of South Florida’s most recognized outdoor events. In February over President’s Day Weekend, Coconut Grove is home to the world-renowned Coconut Grove Arts Festival, the largest street art festival in the country. Consistently ranked among the country’s best outdoor festivals, the three-day event features more than 300 artists from across the country, with close to 150,000 people in attendance each year.

On July 4th, the Grove pulls out its red, white, and blue bunting and celebrates Independence Day with an all-village event. Beginning with an old-fashioned picnic on the grounds of The Barnacle Historic State Park, the celebration continues with a variety of fun events throughout the business district, and ends with a bang of dynamic fireworks at Peacock Park.

Each fall, the Grove serves as a backdrop to the Mad Hatter Art Festival. The year would not be complete without the Grove’s legendary King Mango Strut, an irreverent parade held on the last Sunday of the year. This is no ordinary parade. For more than 25 years, Mangoheads, as parade organizers and participants are known, have been spoofing politicians and other current events at a local, national and international level.
