Sanibel Shell Show

The 2026 Sanibel Shell Show, to be held March 5th, 6th, and 7th, will feature shells from around the world displayed in amazing artistic and scientific exhibits, in exquisite works of art, and for sale from world-class shell vendors. The Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club is excited to be returning to the Sanibel Community House on Sanibel Island in March to reunite with the 89th annual Shell Festival. Hosted jointly by the Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club and the Sanibel Community Association, this shell event will enable shell lovers to experience more shell items than ever before!

The Sanibel Community House at 2173 Periwinkle Way will provide a comfortable, on-island venue for shell lovers, with an outdoor dining area and family-friendly activities, including a Living Shell Exhibit to educate and entertain youngsters about the wonders of conchology/seashells.

Proceeds from the 2026 Show will support both The Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club’s annual Grants Program, as well as Community House programs and its operating budget.
