Fridays are a celebration anywhere, and
Sarasota is no exception. Both downtown
Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch feature a Music
on Main the first Friday of the month, featuring
music, food and family fun; the Van Wezel
Performing Arts Hall’s Friday Fest in the summer
presents outdoor music; and Café in the
Park in downtown Sarasota encourages you to
enjoy life at its Live Music in the Park series
every Friday evening.
Sarasota County may feel like a small beach
city, but The Sarasota Ballet, Urbanite Theatre,
Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe, Van Wezel
Performing Arts Hall, Sarasota Orchestra,
Asolo Repertory Theatre, Sarasota Opera,
Lemon Bay Playhouse, Venice Theatre and
Florida Theatre Studio offer plenty of culture.
Unexpectedly in the center of the city lies the
Amish community of Pinecraft. The neighborhood
features handmade furniture, crafts and,
of course, pie. Pop into Yoder’s Restaurant
or Der Dutchman Restaurant for a slice of
heaven and some fried chicken.
