VAN WEZEL PERFORMING ARTS HALL, SARASOTA, FLORIDA

Choosing what to do on any given night (or day!) in SARASOTA is always a challenge! There are SO many options! SARASOTA has many, many wonderful and diverse restaurants and bars, live theater, concerts, symphony, ballet, gardens and on and on! The VAN WEZEL Performing Arts Hall is always hosting something or someone special. I was fortunate to see Aaron Neville there a few years ago. It is a beautiful venue, inside and out, right on the bay front.

Friday night I decided to go to the Reggae Fest on the grounds of the Van Wezel. The band, Impulse, played energetic reggae, both covers and originals, as well as Zouk and Calypso and had the audience on their feet for hours! I was up and dancing with singles, couples, kids and a lovely senior "hippie" with pig tails who never stopped smiling! Vendors provided food and drink and Mother Nature provided a stunning sunset for the background.
 I highly recommend checking out the up coming schedule and putting the VAN WEZEL on your "to do" in SARASOTA list!
