Our family had a great time at the Venice Shark Tooth Festival!…read more We found this event last minute on Sunday and decided to drive out to the Shark tooth Capital to see what it would be like. It was very busy and a little tough to find parking but once we did we couldn't believe our eyes seeing so many shark teeth! Big and small from all types of sharks and there were some beautiful wall art made with shark teeth some dipped in resin with beautiful colors it was amazing to see how celebrated these teeth were. The live music was great people were dancing having a good time. I didn't see very many food vendors maybe because venices strip has restaurants up and down but they definitely had drinks non alcoholic and alcohol. I got myself a really cool branded coconut from surfing coconut that they crack open and you can drink fresh coconut water that was cold and refreshing. And the Kids Zone was great my kids got to find their own shark teeth offered by the Venice Lions Club which they got two minutes to find as many shark as they could and when they were done they had about 10/20 shark teeth each! This was a great festival filled with very talented vendors and amazing fossils and Shark teeth I will definitely be attending next year's event!

Love me a good farmers market while traveling! It's such a great way to get a taste of the local…read morefood and culture. The Venice farmers market did not disappoint. Their Saturday market is a mix of food and artisan vendors that span three to four city blocks. We purchased a variety of produce, cold brew coffee, chicken salad and olive salads. The surrounding businesses range from breakfast spots to bakeries and Italian eateries. You could make a whole morning of exploring the area. Parking was much easier than anticipated and the market is dog friendly,

We also stopped by (and got suckered into buying things after the free samples because they're just that GOOD) the German pretzel stand, the Italian ice stand (try the apple cider Italian ice!!!), the Italian bakery stand with fresh cannolis and cookies, the guacamole stand, and so much more!!

Many of the booths have samples. Local fresh fruits and vegetables of every type, including tropical fruits, and some you may have never heard of! Cowabunga donuts is not to be missed, sourdough warm and fresh donuts were remarkable. Gourmet hot, sauces, pickles, popcorn, organic, dark chocolate. There's also a machinist who sharpens your scissors and your knives, etc., right at the stand! The paella stand is a sight to see cooking up authentic paella in the open air was just delicious. Aqua Fresca stand, Dole whip, fresh squeeze, lemonade, freshly roasted coffee, hot, or iced. Half a dozen artist playing live music, all the merchants have their doors open, offering Coastal, clothing, sterling silver, jewelry, candles, plants, and fresh flowers. Parking can be tight during the high season, but not too hard of a little effort. Bring sustainable shopping bags to make it easier to carry your purchases. Plan to spend the full-time from 9 to 1 as there is much to see and enjoy.

I went every week while in Fl. and got big, beautiful scallops, unbelievable salmon, grouper, mahi, clams and more. Pat is the nicest guy and has great cooking suggestions. He takes his time with each customer to ensure you have exactly what you want. You can even call ahead with requests. With the right preparation and cook, this seafood rivals the best restaurants around!

Menu is simple, you can order the meal of the day which was the chicken pot pie (fairly enough food for 1.5 person but very thick crust.) $15. My party ordered roast chicken and the portions are average for the cost. I highly recommend the bakery items as they are fairly fresh and cost effective. Parking is available all along the rear.
