FFormat Returns: A Creative Arts, Design, and Entrepreneurship Festival in Vatican Chico, Providencia on April 11-12, 2026

“Opening again in 2026 in the beautiful Vatican Chico, we believe it is incredible how artists have established a cultural and gastronomic hub in Providencia, contributing to the creative community and the neighborhood with a delightful creative proposal that engages families and connects well with neighbors and the general public,” said the event organizers.

In line with this, they emphasized, “We have been developing an event that grows organically year after year, aiming to support the local creative scene. We focus on providing a wonderful experience for our attendees, where a superb selection of artists, designers, and creative entrepreneurs serves as the central theme.”
