Thunder by the Bay and Downtown Sarasota Farmers Market

It's just another Saturday in downtown Sarasota. Simultaneous popular events somehow flowing one into the other. Today it's the regular Saturday Downtown Sarasota Farmers Market on Lemon Avenue and State Street, surrounded by zillions of motorcycles, with a bike-themed arts and crafts show on Gulfstream Avenue and at Five Points Park next to Selby Library.

Thunder by the Bay is an annual fundraiser that brings lots of riders and gawkers to our little city by the bay.

The Downtown Sarasota Farmers Market is in its 37th year, with more than 70 vendors offering 5000 square feet of plants, produce, ready-to-eat foods, live music, climbing wall, bungee bouncing booth, fine art, clothing, pottery, and other arts and crafts. And let's not forget the "dog show" featuring all manner of pooches strolling through the market with their owners in tow. Every Saturday from 7AM to 1PM, year-round.
