Explore Sarasota/Bradenton.
There’s a good reason Sarasota was long the winter home of America’s most beloved circus: on average, there is less than one frost annually. That means there’s fun to have in the sun no matter when you plan your visit. Whether you choose to hit the beach, explore the keys, or cast off with rod and reel, the coast awaits—find your next adventure!
When you begin to explore the Sarasota/Bradenton area, you may notice there are a few unique mid-century gems that look a bit different than the surrounding buildings. Known as the Sarasota School of Architecture or Sarasota Modern, it features experimental reinforced concrete structures, open floor plans, and large windows to take advantage of natural light. While many of these buildings were demolished by the early 90s, there has been a recent push to preserve and rehabilitate the remaining structures. Architecture fans should take advantage of the opportunity to explore during their visit.
There’s plenty more to explore on the Cultural Coast, from locally beloved theatres to the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art. If you’d enjoy an immersive experience, stop by the Circus Museum—part of the larger Ringling complex—and try your luck at tightrope walking and more at the interactive galleries at the Tibbals Learning Center. Prefer to let someone else do the preforming? See what’s going on at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.
