Waldo's Secret Art Walk is Vero Beach's coolest and oldest art venue located in Waldo Sexton's unique original homestead. Our first two shows in 2024 and 2025 attracted nearly 3000 patrons each weekend and were featured in Vero Magazine, 32963 and Vero News.

 

Waldo Sexton's 15 acre property is hidden away in the middle of town off 12th Street and is the location of his original homestead. The "Secret Garden" has all the charm and wonder of Waldo's other properties like The Ocean Grill, The Driftwood and McKee's Botanical Gardens. You'll get to visit Waldo's "Tree House," where you can hear tales from the past. Plus, "Waldo's Secret Antique & Art Barn" featuring a small gallery of unique artists and antique treasures from Waldo's private collections at bargain prices.

 

Poet Laureate, Sean Sexton will be reading his poetry and sharing stories starting at 3pm daily with a book signing after. As you wander the jungle garden, you'll discover over 35 artists offering everything from paintings and handmade baskets to sculpture and jewelry from the most unique artisans of the area. Great food, drinks and live music accompany the event. This year we'll also have free children's face painting and a "Where's Waldo" scavenger hunt! Bring the family and well mannered doggies and enjoy the day. Some of our fantastic featured food trucks include "Fruity Sunrise," "Testa Rossa Wood-fired Pizza" "Griddle & Grind" and "Off the Hook" Seafood, as well as libations (while supplies last).

PARKING: You can park on the property at 5000 12th street for a suggested donation of $5 per car. Or, there is plentiful street parking along 12th Street and the surrounding neighborhoods.

If you're looking for something new and fun in Vero's event scene...it's here! We look forward to meeting you the weekend of February 14 and 15, 2026. Hours: Saturday 11-5, Sun 11-5
