Last weekend, Fresh Fridays shared our love for downtown and its vibrant community on the cobblestones of State Street with a celebration for the storybooks. A huge thank you to all our devoted and passionate attendees for coming out! Your affection and vivacity for these events has helped connect our area in ways we couldn’t imagine.  

A major shoutout to all our hospitality partners, Mattinson’s, Brick’s Smoked Meats, Art Ovation Hotel, and Azul Steak & Sushi Lounge, who served up food that warmed the soul! We’d also like to thank our Media Sponsor, Local iQ, and our Event Partner, The Sarasota Players! To top it all off, we were all dancing in the streets thanks to the charm and charisma of the night’s musical guests, The Motowners!
