Palm Avenue District , Sarasota
Palm Avenue is one of those streets that you walk down and are inspired to slow down and actually look into windows as you pass them. In a world of chain stores and franchises, Sarasota’s downtown is a refreshing , eclectic mix of original galleries, locally owned bistros and unique shopping destinations. Palm Avenue is no exception, and is a great destination in and of itself.
If you are considering a visit to Sarasota – or are a resident who sometimes forgets how special our downtown is – walking along Palm Avenue is a very pleasant way to spend a few hours. And don’t miss the Palm Avenue Gallery Walks on the First Friday of every month from 6-9pm, where you can enjoy gallery openings and live entertainment.
