The tickets are very reasonably priced. The beer, food, and water was SO well-priced! I was in shock. We had planned to bring our own snacks and drinks but when we realized a craft beer was like $6 and a water $2 we decided to lighten our load and just bring chairs and sunscreen. This festival is a fundraiser for the non-profit Safety Harbor Art & Music Center (SHAMc). 2017 was my first year going and it was so awesome that I really regret not going in the past! My priority band was The Wood Brothers. I was thrilled with Magic Giant and Birds of Chicago and really enjoyed Charlie Mars, Fantastic Negrito, The Mulligan Brothers, Rising Appalachia, and the Caravan of Thieves members who were there. The singer-songwriters (solo artists) all had great voices and lyrics and were really talented. I can't wait for next year! I love discovering new-to-me bands and I hope to see Magic Giant again soon. This band got down into the crowd, had the security barriers removed, and was singing and playing instruments surrounded by all of us. There were little kids, elderly couples, and everyone in between. Really a cool experience and a great way to close out the festival. In addition to great bands, there were chalk artists, a bus mural, circus performers, a kite flying club, and people making giant bubbles. Someone was also selling those inflatable bag things to sit/lay on. They're harder than they look to inflate. This isn't a festival where you can camp, so it isn't plagued by many of the usual festival problems. For one, the restrooms stay usable. Drug use is discrete and mild...you won't have to explain to one of your kids why a woman is convulsing in the middle of a field. You can also come and go during the festival and walk to downtown SH for food if nothing on-site sounds good. Final impression: I hope to never again miss this music festival in paradise.

I Imagine its jarder for thin wheeled wheel chairs. One of our friends was competing in the games so we came to support him (Go Bill, Go!) and see a deer friend, beneath the branches of the stately oaks. There were rows of vendors, some eats too, but the lines for that were absolutely silly. Needless to say we did t eat there. We watched the caber Toss and another game too, before getting tired and heading home. The games are fun, you should totally visit the games when theyre on?

This year is no different but a lot of people came out to enjoy this even at RE olds Park. The event is free to every one. It includes the movie at the lawn. My favorite is the snow slide. I saw a bunch of kid or parents with small children on the lap slide down on the man made ice slope. It is without friction and it travel a long distance without stop. Unless you hit a tree. Just kidding. They also have snow ball throwing, pony ride, art and craft and more. The Clearwater aquarium has a station showing how they transported the dolphins. You can take a picture with Santa Clause and Mrs. Clause. The festival has food stand, bounce house for all ages.

Dogtoberfest was held at the beautiful Highlander Park in Dunedin…read more This fest has grown tremendously since we last went about 3 or 4 years ago. Three sides of the park were filled with dog vendors, dog adoptions, & dog activities. Mocha Coconut, my hubby, and I were thrilled to see how big it has grown. The event is free and parking is $5. We were not thrilled about paying for parking, but easily found parking in the surrounding neighborhood. We bought Mocha Coconut a brand new Xmas sweatshirt for a dollar. I know right, a dog with a Xmas sweatshirt. Nope, he's not just a dog. They had a lure chase there, a weiner dog tace, costume contest, and Santa pics. You can tell Suncoast Animal Leaugur put so much detail into this event. It is well appreciated. We will definitely be back when it rolls around next year.

I definitely think this is a very cute event for dogs however the only thing that was just a little…read morebit off-putting was I felt that it was more designed for vendors to sell their products. The events for the dogs were very very spaced out and I'm happy to contribute some funds but some things for my dog to participate in I did feel a little overpriced. The event itself has a nice meeting and it's very very cute and it's a nice place to be able to have dog kind of get out and be able to be around other dogs. I definitely think I had a little something different in mind when I first went but I do like the cause behind it. I think it would be a little bit nicer if this event had the events to watch for dogs participate in a little bit closer together as in instead of so spread apart because walking around looking at what vendors are trying to Market can only be interesting for so long in my personal opinion.

Base on my friend yesterday experience the long line, I decided to go at the door open. It is good to be the first in the line on the ticket booth and second in the line to receive the lobster. The dinner is including one lobster, sweet corn, potatoes and the butter sauce. Since the lobster is flown in from Maine, its meat has not shrink like you get it from typical grocery store. It has a lot of meat. The lobsters we receive are just steam out of the batch. Since it is just from the sea, you can taste the sea salt. You don't need any butter or any seasoning. It is still steaming hot since it just finished steaming. The event take place at beautiful Kapok. It was pleasantly sit on beautiful dinning hall. The event include a lot vendors. It is great to see them all. So, most importantly is to go on the second day at opening when no line. It is also because the staff know the routine and not as chaos as first day. We were in and out in 1 hours 15 minutes.
