The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall Friday Fest events are our outdoor concert series that provide the community with 4 entertaining and FREE events from June to September, showcasing the best of local bands from Sarasota and Bradenton. Friday Fest brings together a wide variety of talented artists along with food trucks and drink stations on the Van Wezel lawn along the beautiful Sarasota Bayfront.
Coverage from News Channel 8 – NBC
ABC 7 – My Suncoast served as a sponsor for this event. They broadcasted several live shots from the event and provided the event host for the evening.
In my role, I managed the media on site, gave interviews about the event, and managed the emcee.
