Panama City\u2019s historic quarter<\/a> will trade honking horns for the beat of tamboritos<\/a> this Sunday, July 26, 2026, as the Casco Peatonal returns with its most ambitious lineup yet. More than 150 businesses, museums, and independent artists are joining forces to turn the cobblestone streets of San Felipe<\/a> into a sprawling, walkable festival that stretches from the iconic Arco Chato all the way to the seafood market and beyond<\/a>. The initiative, which has steadily grown into a beloved monthly tradition<\/strong>, now anchors a broader push to reclaim public space in the capital\u2019s oldest neighborhood while giving locals and tourists a car-free day of art, music, and gastronomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
