Experience the Placencia Sidewalk Art Festival

2025 Festival dates : Feb 8th & 9th

Every February, Placencia Village transforms into a vibrant hub of creativity, culture, and community for the annual Placencia Sidewalk Art Festival. This beloved two-day event, held along the historic four-foot-wide sidewalk, celebrates Belize’s finest artists and artisans.

Stroll through booths showcasing everything from stunning paintings and hand-carved wooden bowls to intricate jewelry and colorful textiles. Meet the makers themselves, hear their stories, and take home a piece of Belizean craftsmanship that’s as unique as the country itself.

The festival is more than just art—it’s an immersive cultural experience. Enjoy live Garifuna drumming, steel drum performances, and DJ sets as you sample local Belizean dishes and sweet treats. Bring the whole family for face painting and kid-friendly attractions or simply soak in the lively, colorful atmosphere with the sparkling Caribbean Sea as your backdrop. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned festival-goer, the Placencia Sidewalk Art Festival is a celebration of art, culture, and community that leaves a lasting impression.
