Siesta Key's Ocean Boulevard was lined with hundreds of artists showcasing their art and handmade crafts for the 40th Annual Siesta Fiesta on April 28 to April 29. 

Visitors strolled from booth to booth admiring the works on display and meeting the creators behind the pieces. Exhibitors from all over the country were selected by an independent panel of judges.
