Music, Fun, & Sun in Osprey this Weekend


Do you have small town, country roots? Are you ready for some old Florida fun in Casey Key’s back yard? This weekend, Oscar Scherer State Park is hosting the sixth annual Sarasota Folk Festival. This Florida state park is just about a mile from Casey Key Road’s exit off the Key at Blackburn Point Road, between Sarasota and Venice near Osprey on Route 41. The event is sponsored by the Sarasota Folk Club, and the theme this year is “Go Green!” Local and state musicians, eco-friendly vendors, and plenty of food and warm sunshine promise to make this a day to remember, especially if folk music floats your boat. The music—mostly acoustic folk music—will include bluegrass, blues, jazz, country, pop, and Irish. The music starts Saturday March 14th at 11:00, with a dinner break at 5 p.m. and the evening concert starting back up at 6 p.m. Over 30 musical acts will perform over the weekend. Tickets are available at the gate (cash or local check only) and range from $30 for the whole weekend, $15 for Saturday night (includes Sunday), or $10 for Sunday only. (Hint: bring a flashlight and your own chair to ensure your comfort!)

Sarasota and the barrier islands around here are known for music, the arts, theater, and simply a wonderful variety of things to do. And our reputation is global—the upcoming Sarasota Film Festival brings visitors and celebrities from around the world. Watch for more details on this fabulous event March 27 – April 5.

So whether you’re the stay-at-home type who prefers long, quiet beach walks; the get-out-and-dance type who would feel at home swaying to blues and acoustic music under the stars; or the theatrical type who prefers to mingle with renowned filmmakers—our hometown of Sarasota, Florida has something for everyone.
