The story

Festival de Artesanias de Azuero in Azuero

Festival de Artesanias de Azuero showcases the handcraft traditions of the Azuero peninsula, a region nationally recognized for hand-woven sombreros pintaos, embroidered polleras, carved ceremonial masks and other crafts rooted in the area's farming and cattle-ranching communities.

The Azuero peninsula holds an unusually dense concentration of Panama's best-known handcraft traditions, each tied to a specific town or cluster of communities rather than spread evenly across the region.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few regions in Panama concentrate as many distinct, still-practiced hand-craft traditions as the Azuero peninsula, hand-woven sombreros pintaos from communities like La Pintada, elaborately embroidered polleras from towns including Las Tablas, carved wooden masks used in diablico dances tied to Corpus Christi celebrations, and instruments like the mejoranera guitar

02

The mystery stays covered

A crafts festival covering the whole peninsula, rather than a single town's specialty, gives visitors a chance to compare these traditions side by side in one place
