Pie season is here! Head to Der Dutchman Sarasota for slices piled high with fall flavor — from pumpkin spice to classic apple. Homemade, heartwarming, and best enjoyed with friends.
Support local artisans and find unique gifts at The Bazaar on Apricot & Lime in Sarasota. Open Thursday through Saturday, this indoor market is perfect for early holiday shopping and local flavor.
Step back in time with knights, jesters, and jousts at the Sarasota Medieval Fair. Held every weekend in November at Mallaranny Farms, this immersive experience offers full-contact jousts, artisan markets, rides and themed entertainment.
Step into a world of magic, acrobatics, and imagination at Wonderland: Believe — a dazzling holiday circus spectacular performed under the Big Top at UTC Sarasota. This all-new production blends breathtaking aerial acts, comedy, and live music into an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
This year’s Orchid Show at Selby Gardens brings art and nature together with an immersive installation by Rebecca Louise Law alongside living orchids and plants. Running through December at the downtown Sarasota campus, it’s the season’s must-see botanical experience.
The holidays shine bright at University Town Center! All season long, enjoy nightly light shows, a giant tree, visits with Santa, horse-drawn carriage rides, ice skating, and festive photo ops throughout the shopping district.
Stroll the streets lined with local shops and restaurants in Downtown Venice. Grab a bite to eat, browse boutique finds, and enjoy free concerts at Centennial Park, where live music fills the air all season long.
Make a day of it on Siesta Key, home to powder-soft sand and vibrant island vibes. Ride the free trolley to explore Siesta Key Village’s shops and cafés after some beach time, or, if you’re in town November 14–17, catch the world-class sand sculptures at the Siesta Key Crystal Classic.
Make your November visit unique with an unforgettable capybara encounter in Englewood at the Suncoast Humane Society. Snack and snuggle sessions let you feed and bond with capybaras while learning about these gentle animals.
End your day the Sarasota way — toes in the sand, Gulf breeze in your hair, and a glowing sunset sinking into the horizon. Lido Beach offers a wide, walkable shoreline that’s especially magical in fall when the skies turn fiery orange.
Spend a leisurely afternoon exploring St. Armands Circle’s boutiques, galleries, and cafés. And if you’re lucky enough to visit on a third Thursday, the “Circle the Date” event adds extra energy with specials, entertainment, and a festive vibe.
Step into autumn at Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in North Port. Shady trails, winding creeks, and rustling oak hammocks make it the perfect place for a crisp fall stroll or a peaceful afternoon of birdwatching. It’s nature’s version of a seasonal reset — Florida style.
