¡Ved y Haced!
February 22nd, 2008 by Joel Rozen in See & DoOne See & Do item that somehow flew under the radar this week:
In honor of its one-year anniversary, the Puerto Rican Chamber of Sarasota-Manatee Counties is throwing two special bashes this weekend. Tonight, a gala event boasting a three-course meal, live music by local band Cache, dignitaries, dancing and a presentation from Mayor Lou Ann Palmer (we’re guessing the last two aren’t interrelated, but si ella baila, please send pictures).
Tomorrow, the fiesta continues at Five Points Park with a community-wide Puerto Rican Art & Cultural Festival. Food vendors, crafts, more dancing and live performances from musicians Puerto Rican Power and Master Joe are all on tap.
And if reggaeton’s not your thing, you can always roll like us: We’ll be the wallflowers in the corner with Coronas in hand.
Rums of Puerto Rico Gala Award & Reception: Tonight, 7 p.m. (9 p.m. awards ceremony), Arosa Restaurant, 1296 First St., Sarasota, $35. 952-5800 or srqfiesta.com for tickets.
