Join us for a fun-filled weekend!
It’s Farmers Market Day! The Sarasota Newtown Farmers Market is a market that consists of fresh, locally grown produce and products that many consumers say they thrive on! Join us today, Dec. 17, and tomorrow from 10 am to 5 pm at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park.

Don’t forget we’re having our Annual Feeding Our Friends in the Park for Christmas tomorrow, Dec. 18, from 2 –4 pm. What better way to give Thanks than donating and volunteering to give back to the community? So come, feed the homeless with us and together, we can ensure the spirit and tradition of the holiday is shared with the less fortunate.

ADDED BONUS! We’ll be hosting Mr. Stevey & Friends – Winter Pop-Up! Book Giveaway! from Noon – 2:30. Come out and enjoy free prizes, free books, and free fun! This special event celebrates arts, literacy and mindfulness during the holiday season by providing FREE BOOKS for local students and their families!
