Sarasota Arts & Events Make it Special

There are hundreds of miles of white sand beaches in Florida (although some would argue Siesta Key the best!) There are many places to watch for dolphins, enjoy the sun or play some golf. But there is only one Sarasota - truly unique in its character. Sarasota's unique blend of beach life and cultural richness make it the perfect place to consider calling home.

This is not a suprise to anyone living here, but important to those considering a move. Recently, Sarasota and Sarasota County was once again named Per Capita Arts Capital of Florida by Southern Living magazine. Long hailed as a cultural haven, Sarasota just keeps getting better - visitors and residents alike can enjoys literally hundreds of events at venues such as Sarasota symphony, Sarasota opera, Van Wezel Broadway Shows & concerts, John Ringling Museums, Sarasota Ballet, Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota Film Festival, Sarasota Music Festival, Banyan Theater Company, Tampa Performing Arts, Sarasota Film Society, Venice Little Theater, Manatee Players, Circus Sarasota, G Wiz Museum, Golden Apple Theater, Sailor Circus, Players Theater, Sarasota Jazz Club, Burns Court, & Towles Court art communities.

There are gallery walks on Friday nights, popular outdoor art exhibits (don't miss the exhibit currently on display at Island Park "Embracing our Differences" ) and even an eclectic Farmers Market to stroll through on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning- enjoy some coffee, buy fresh produce and meet local artists. Whether the Selby Gardens Sunday Night Music series sounds like a great evening, or Shakespeare on the Bay is more your style, there is no excuse in Sarasota for not expanding your horizons and experiencing a truly special event.
