Southside Holiday Stroll Returns Friday

The Southside Village in Sarasota is once again hosting its annual Holiday Stroll on Friday, Dec. 14 from 5 to 9 p.m.

Gather with friends, family, and loved ones while you ring in the Holiday Season enjoying live entertainment, superb dining opportunities, fabulous shopping, and highlighted by a special visit from Santa Claus. Bring your camera because Santa will be taking pictures with holiday strollers inside the Comerica Bank. 

Come enjoy the festive atmosphere and Holiday cheer with merchants, restaurants, and businesses in Southside Village. Let kids experience the magic of the season with face painting and an encounter with a mountain of snow for sliding at the Gecko’s Grill & Pub parking lot.

There will be free parking at the Sarasota Memorial Hospital Parking Garage. The special Holiday Stroll event is sponsored by the Southside Village Business Association and is free to everyone.

There will be raffle prizes from many of the Southside Village businesses and merchants will have donation boxes for Toys for Tots.
