About SRQ Happenings
A local guide to events, arts, food, and weekend plans in Sarasota.
Our mission
We make it easy to find what’s happening in Sarasota without overwhelming you. Our goal is to be a convenient, curated guide for locals and visitors alike.
A note from the builder
I built SRQ Happenings because I wanted a friendly, low-stress way to keep up with local events without bouncing between a dozen calendars. I’m the sole developer and maintainer, and I care a lot about keeping this site warm, welcoming, and useful for real life planning.
If you host events, send them in. If you’re just browsing, I hope you find something that makes your week a little brighter.
