Panama City Festival of Nations

It's a small world they say, but the diversity of peoples and cultures is immense! During the Festival of Nations, Downtown Panama City will become a snapshot of that diversity.

Representatives of dozens of countries will be on hand to display information and goods from their native lands. Scottish bagpipers in kilts march through the streets in between German Oompa bands belting out polka tunes!

One of the best parts of the festival is sampling the exotic and delicious foods from the far-away countries. Snack on Greek pastries, spicy Thai treats, or German sausage.

There's a kid's entertainment area for the little ones and small rides and live entertainment.

Vendors will be on hand with arts and crafts from many parts of the world. The festival offers a great opportunity to purchase an early and unique holiday gift.

When: October 22 and 23

Where: Downtown Panama City
