The festival also features live entertainment and food from local restaurants - all in the scenic setting of McKenzie Park. The popular art show returns Saturday and Sunday at McKenzie Park in downtown Panama City. They'll be pleasantly surprised with the art they see. Spring Festival of the Arts started as a children's festival 31 years ago. It still keeps that flavor.
Children can partake in hands-on art activities.
They also can enjoy children's entertainment. Parents feel comfortable bringing their children to the festival and walking them around. Artists donate artworks for the Children's Art Market. Businesses have donated operating costs. Thus, all proceeds go directly to local charities.
