The Florida Luxe Arts Festival (FLLUXE), presented by Bay Arts Alliance, is bringing talent, community, and the best family-friendly experience to Downtown Panama City for its sixth year.
This year, FLLUXE expands to a three-day event: Friday, March 6 from 6-8 p.m., Saturday, March 7 from 10 a.m.-8 p.m., and Sunday, March 8 from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. This free-to-the-public event promises to transform the streets into a kaleidoscope of creativity, showcasing the talents of local and international artists. This year’s festival also aims to highlight local and regional fine artists in an expanded Fine Arts Market.
Event Highlights:
- 3D chalk installations by locally and nationally recognized street painters along the streets of Downtown Panama City.
- Live performances by dozens of local musicians and performing artists.
- FlaminGLOW Party: After the sun goes down Friday night, attendees can break out their glow sticks and best dance moves for the FlaminGLOW party on the Center for the Arts Lawn.
- In honor of the Spring Festival of the Arts, a wide variety of fine arts vendors will be showcasing their artwork along Harrison Avenue for the FLLUXE Fine Arts Market.
“With the Fine Arts Market at FLLUXE, we’re intentionally honoring the legacy of the Spring Festival of the Arts, which was nurtured for more than 40 years by the Junior Women’s Club,” said Jayson Kretzer, Executive Director of Bay Arts Alliance. “That festival shaped generations of artists and art lovers in our community, and it feels incredibly meaningful to revive that spirit in a new, vibrant way. It reminds us why community-centered arts events have such a lasting impact.”
National chalk artists—Jessi Queen, Laura Thomas, and Erik Greenawalt (The Chalking Dad)—will bring their talents from across the United States to the streets of Historic Downtown Panama City to create 3-D interactive pieces for the public to enjoy.
Visitors will have the chance to witness the magic unfold as the artists transform the sidewalks of downtown into a visual feast of colors and 3D illusions, as well as enjoy performances by local musicians and purchase genuine artwork by local artists at the Fine Arts Market. They will also be able to enjoy the Panama City Farmers’ Market and see the newest exhibitions at the Center for the Arts.
The festivities will take place just outside of the Panama City Center for the Arts and along Harrison Avenue in downtown Panama City.
