On Friday March 6th, Artesano Boutique will host a 10-year anniversary party inside their Downtown Fort Walton Beach store. The celebration will coincide with the first Downtown Street Fest happening the same night with Artesano providing food, drinks and the chance to win prizes from 6-9pm. 

“It has been a wonderful ride of memories and good times downtown. Join us for eats, drinks and giveaways as we celebrate all the good times we have had over the years.”

Nikki Via, Artesano owner

Nikki and Jon Via opened Artesano in 2010, bringing an artist-led handmade market to the Emerald Coast. The boutique offers a variety of thoughtfully-made items, hand-carved knives, and an abundance of handmade jewelry that is all created by locals.

Over the years, Artesano has remained a gathering place for art events, community meetups, classes and shopping for treasured mementos.
