Panama City’s Mural Trail Showcases Color, Culture, and Creativity

Panama City, FL: August 15, 2025 — Along with waterfront views and historic streets, visitors exploring Panama City, Florida will will also discover an outdoor gallery of large-scale murals that transform the city into a walkable art experience. The Panama City Mural Trail features more than two dozen murals across the city’s historic districts, offering both a celebration of local creativity and a collection of backdrops perfect for photography and Instagrammable moments.

The trail highlights the work of local and regional artists whose designs reflect the city’s coastal heritage, cultural history, and vibrant community spirit. Notable stops include a vibrant coastal scene by Paul Brent, a world-renowned artist and longtime Panama City local whose work is celebrated worldwide; El Weirdo, the largest art installation in Bay County, which blends bold colors and surreal imagery for an unforgettable visual impact; the Panama City Welcome Postcard, a nostalgic, photo-ready mural that greets visitors with bright, retro lettering; and a variety of hidden-gem murals that capture everything from marine life to local history.

Many murals are within easy walking distance of local shops, restaurants, and waterfront parks, allowing visitors to combine sightseeing with dining and shopping. The Mural Trail is accessible year-round and offers an opportunity for self-guided exploration. A digital map, available at DestinationPanamaCity.com, guides visitors to each location, with details on the artists and the stories behind their work. Whether capturing a striking portrait against a vivid abstract design or photographing a family moment beneath a colorful bayfront scene, the trail provides countless ways to create lasting visual memories.

“Public art is part of what makes Panama City’s historic neighborhoods so distinctive,” said Jennifer Vigil, President and CEO of Destination Panama City. “The mural trail not only supports our local artists but also enhances the experience for residents and visitors who want to explore the city in a new and creative way.”

With new works added regularly, the trail continues to grow as an evolving exhibition. From the bustling streets of Downtown Panama City to the waterfront setting of Historic St. Andrews, each stop offers a unique view of the city through the eyes of an artist.
