Siesta Key proved this weekend that it knows how to throw a party with teh 37th annual Siesta Fiesta. Artists’ booths took over Ocean Boulevard in Siesta Key Village for the two-day art and craft festival April 11 and 12. More than 250 artists and craftsmen showed off their best works for purchase. To help manage traffic and limited parking shuttles were provided by SCAT for attendees from the Westfield Southgate Mall to the festival.
