More details: Found hereThis whole week feels like a holiday — and probably is for many — so we're kicking off our Top 5 events in Sarasota and Manatee counties with a hugely popular pub crawl happening today, Dec. 26, in Siesta Key Village.
Other selections include two of the region's biggest Chanukah festivals, one in Sarasota and the other in Venice, as well as a free outdoor screening of the classic film "Toy Story" at University Town Center.
Last but definitely not least, it's not too late to experience the brilliant million-light display at Selby Gardens along Sarasota Bay in downtown, which feels even more special when paired with a gourmet meal at their Green Orchid restaurant.
