The event, hosted by the Downtown Sarasota Enrichment Association with the Humane Society of Sarasota County a Special Guest, offers a diverse menu of foods cooked fresh on site. Seafood items are prepared using only the freshest local and sustainable ocean resources from the Florida Gulf Coast. Meat and vegetarian offerings also are on the menu, along with a variety of side dishes and of course – tantalizing desserts! Alcoholic, non-alcoholic, and fruit drinks are available along with a selection of sodas and bottled water. In the breaks between performances, explore shopping in a marketplace of fine arts, crafts, and select fine products and food items.

While savoring your meal, relax to some of Florida’s top musical groups from genres such as R&B, blues, jazz, rock, and Caribbean sounds. Performers in 2020 were: Dr. Dave Band (classic rock, country, bluegrass), JP Soars & The Red Hots (soul, blues) and Black Honkeys (rock, soul), The Whole Band featuring Callie Chappell (Americana, rock, variety), the Billy Rice Band (country rock), Twinkle & Rock Soul Radio (rock, soul), The Verge (classic rock 70’s to present) and 22N (rock, funk, variety), Big Night Out (dance, rock, alternative), Kettle of Fish (rock, blues, reggae), and Fleetwood Max (Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band). Check back as the event approaches to see the bands participating and their performance times. They will be posted on this page in the column to the right.

The Humane Society of Sarasota County will have their “Big Mac” mobile adoption center onsite during the event. Please take a few moments to stop by and say “Hi” to the dedicated staff and meet their extended family of friends awaiting adoption. Find a new life companion while lending support to a wonderful and compassionate organization that makes a difference.

So come enjoy, relax and leave refreshed. We will lay the table, all you need do is come and partake!
