Usually, a quiet fisherman’s village, the community sports a new look as artists and local craftsmen line the sidewalk of Placencia to showcase their work. Also, spend a little time enjoying the village’s unique charm. The local shops and restaurants are certainly worth some exploration!

Take in the vibrant paintings showcasing tropical and local community scenes, handmade jewelry, intricate woodwork, and other local crafts. Moreover, it all makes the usually tranquil sidewalk transform into a colourful and exciting promenade.

If you are shopping, browsing or just going on a stroll, the Placencia Sidewalk Art and Music Festival is surely a treat, especially for art lovers.
