About the Sarasota Calendar

There's more to Sarasota than the beach — though that's pretty great too. Find live music, art walks, theater, food and drink events, outdoor activities, and community gatherings happening across Sarasota, Siesta Key, St. Armands, Lakewood Ranch, and the surrounding Gulf Coast. The Sarasota calendar on Daisy brings it all together so you can find what's happening tonight, this weekend, or whenever you're ready to get out.
