    The annual National Craft Fair in Panama is a significant cultural event that highlights the country's rich artisanal heritage. This year, the fair started on June 19 and ran through June 23 at the Atlapa Convention Center in Panama City. I went on a very rainy Saturday, June 22nd.
    The event featured more than 400 national artisans who showcased a variety of traditional crafts, including handmade clothing, jewelry, molas, baskets, drums, leather shoes, wood carvings and more.
    Organized by Panama's Ministry of Culture (MiCultura), the fair not only serves as a platform for artisans to display their work but also emphasizes the cultural and folkloric expressions of Panama. Visitors to the fair can experience traditional dances, music, and a diverse array of Panamanian cuisine, providing a comprehensive cultural experience.

    Excellent video! You are correct, the accordion and concertina are integral in many cultures and the music they produce tug at your soul. My wife is a music therapist and would have loved this event. Thank you for sharing.

    When Alex pointed his finger at you he was just asking where you are from. He wanted to welcome you to Panama.

      Yes, I never told him but I think Jose told him I was from the US.
      I looked him up, he’s got quite the story and longevity in the fashion world. His first collection was when he was 16! And he showed at the Atlapa.

      They would do well if they had a way of selling on the internet. But shipping might be cost prohibitive.

      @@Pattybluehayes yes, we did. But I love to send cards, letters & gifts in the mail. This fact is quite concerning to me.
      I am listening to many of your informative talks because I am still very interested in moving back to Panama. I have looked into this for years, researched it & read several books. My husband & I have been for visits twice since I lived there in the early ‘90’s. I am happy that Panama turned their country around to what they desired after 1999. It’s so wonderful. But I haven’t visited for over 8 years. So I feel out of touch.
      I will continue to learn & perhaps take another trip down for an extended stay.
