The different tents with all the art was quite a sight to be hold. Such Talent. I will admit I came home with a couple of pieces. Fabulous work some out of my price range and some affordable. They had a band playing and people were enjoying themselves. Pets were welcome. There was a children's area with art and games, there was a Huge VIP tent with comfortable furniture in there. ( it cost extra for VIP) The breeze off the water was great. It was a pretty good crowd people were happy it was great weather. There was Beer and Wine for sale. I noticed a a good amount of police on-site as well as medical so it felt secure.

Great day near the water. The art booths were great and I bought a few wonderful items, but the…read morefood didn't have a lot of seafood for a "seafood" festival. And those that did offer it were only offering expensive options. Don't get me wrong I'll spend good money on good food but for the prices I'll walk to the local places and have a table and service for the same cost.

The biggest challenge of this event is parking. We had handicapped parking and were able to get a…read moreparking space somewhat closer to the action, but if you're on crutches it can be difficult. I Imagine its jarder for thin wheeled wheel chairs. One of our friends was competing in the games so we came to support him (Go Bill, Go!) and see a deer friend, beneath the branches of the stately oaks. There were rows of vendors, some eats too, but the lines for that were absolutely silly. Needless to say we did t eat there. We watched the caber Toss and another game too, before getting tired and heading home. The games are fun, you should totally visit the games when theyre on?

Separate parking located just down the street and the cops were cool enough to spend the day making sure people could get in and out of it safely. When you walk up typical general admin booth give your ticket get your id checked get your wristband and then get your mug, but wait a GLASS MUG! That was such a sweet surprise usually there plastic and don't survive the dishwasher. Food smelled amazing friend had a cheesesteak from the jersey mike's concession area said it was pretty good. There were of course other trucks and they were listed at the event website. The lines to each truck seem'd very typical as far a waiting goes. To the right of the food trucks is the main event with a band at the far end and venders surrounding you every which way. It seem'd as if every beer we sampled i had never tried before so very impressed to see many new recipes. I have just recently started liking a lot more porters and stouts but didn't seem to find too many here but just enough to still make this event worth it. There were an abundance of IPA'S so if you're a huge fan this event is something you don't want to miss. My only major concern for next time is the bathrooms. There was only one area for restrooms and only 14 porta potty's. I went the first time very early and the second time there was a line that was wrapping around the event, and it took maybe like 20-25 mins just to piss. People were even running into tampa bays brewing restaurant to use restrooms. Please provide more restrooms next time. Yay! I'm a fan because its BEER! and you just walk around refill drink refill drink. If you havent tried one of these events yet this is a must!

Base on my friend yesterday experience the long line, I decided to go at the door open. It is good to be the first in the line on the ticket booth and second in the line to receive the lobster. The dinner is including one lobster, sweet corn, potatoes and the butter sauce. Since the lobster is flown in from Maine, its meat has not shrink like you get it from typical grocery store. It has a lot of meat. The lobsters we receive are just steam out of the batch. Since it is just from the sea, you can taste the sea salt. You don't need any butter or any seasoning. It is still steaming hot since it just finished steaming. The event take place at beautiful Kapok. It was pleasantly sit on beautiful dinning hall. The event include a lot vendors. It is great to see them all. So, most importantly is to go on the second day at opening when no line. It is also because the staff know the routine and not as chaos as first day. We were in and out in 1 hours 15 minutes.

Dogtoberfest was held at the beautiful Highlander Park in Dunedin…read more This fest has grown tremendously since we last went about 3 or 4 years ago. Three sides of the park were filled with dog vendors, dog adoptions, & dog activities. Mocha Coconut, my hubby, and I were thrilled to see how big it has grown. The event is free and parking is $5. We were not thrilled about paying for parking, but easily found parking in the surrounding neighborhood. We bought Mocha Coconut a brand new Xmas sweatshirt for a dollar. I know right, a dog with a Xmas sweatshirt. Nope, he's not just a dog. They had a lure chase there, a weiner dog tace, costume contest, and Santa pics. You can tell Suncoast Animal Leaugur put so much detail into this event. It is well appreciated. We will definitely be back when it rolls around next year.

I definitely think this is a very cute event for dogs however the only thing that was just a little…read morebit off-putting was I felt that it was more designed for vendors to sell their products. The events for the dogs were very very spaced out and I'm happy to contribute some funds but some things for my dog to participate in I did feel a little overpriced. The event itself has a nice meeting and it's very very cute and it's a nice place to be able to have dog kind of get out and be able to be around other dogs. I definitely think I had a little something different in mind when I first went but I do like the cause behind it. I think it would be a little bit nicer if this event had the events to watch for dogs participate in a little bit closer together as in instead of so spread apart because walking around looking at what vendors are trying to Market can only be interesting for so long in my personal opinion.

This music festival was FANTASTIC! The bands were great, there was a wonderful breeze blowing, all…read morethe beer was local craft beer, the stages were near each other and the scheduling made it such that you could catch some of every band's set if you wanted to. The tickets are very reasonably priced. The beer, food, and water was SO well-priced! I was in shock. We had planned to bring our own snacks and drinks but when we realized a craft beer was like $6 and a water $2 we decided to lighten our load and just bring chairs and sunscreen. This festival is a fundraiser for the non-profit Safety Harbor Art & Music Center (SHAMc). 2017 was my first year going and it was so awesome that I really regret not going in the past! My priority band was The Wood Brothers. I was thrilled with Magic Giant and Birds of Chicago and really enjoyed Charlie Mars, Fantastic Negrito, The Mulligan Brothers, Rising Appalachia, and the Caravan of Thieves members who were there. The singer-songwriters (solo artists) all had great voices and lyrics and were really talented. I can't wait for next year! I love discovering new-to-me bands and I hope to see Magic Giant again soon. This band got down into the crowd, had the security barriers removed, and was singing and playing instruments surrounded by all of us. There were little kids, elderly couples, and everyone in between. Really a cool experience and a great way to close out the festival. In addition to great bands, there were chalk artists, a bus mural, circus performers, a kite flying club, and people making giant bubbles. Someone was also selling those inflatable bag things to sit/lay on. They're harder than they look to inflate. This isn't a festival where you can camp, so it isn't plagued by many of the usual festival problems. For one, the restrooms stay usable. Drug use is discrete and mild...you won't have to explain to one of your kids why a woman is convulsing in the middle of a field. You can also come and go during the festival and walk to downtown SH for food if nothing on-site sounds good. Final impression: I hope to never again miss this music festival in paradise.

The best part is that they open their drive way and you can drive right through to see it. You don't need to go outside.
