Rosemary Rising’s 7th Annual Holiday Walk

Known for its eclectic mix of creative businesses, the Rosemary District is once again offering an interesting array of activities for its 7th annual Holiday Walk:

Each block along Central Avenue, between Fruitville and 10th Streets, will showcase some of Sarasota’s finest, including the SWAT team, the K-9 Team, local police and a fire truck with Santa riding on top. These teams will welcome children and adults to explore their vehicles, ask them questions and meet the K-9 dogs. Santa will hold court at Citrus Square, Station 400 will hold Ale tastings and WSLR will offer tours of its new studio.

Also along Central Avenue, enjoy a dog costume contest, silk-screening of t-shirts, cooking demos by Publix’s Apron School, complimentary yoga lessons at Rosemary Court, and a cemetery tour by Sarasota’s own Jeff Leherd. Local artisans will be set up outside selling their wares and Tube Dudes will guide you.
