Whether you’re salty or sweet, you could find plenty of both at the inaugural SRQ Margarita Festival May 25.
The 21-and-up event featured more than 12 flavors of margaritas across three bars, all situated behind the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall along Sarasota Bay. Eventgoers grooved along — several even stood up from their lawn chairs to let the urge to dance take over — to the sounds of five musical acts from the Tampa Bay area: Have Gun, Will Travel, Come Back Alice, HoneyWhat, Ashley Smith & The Random Occurrence and Shavonne.
Guests could also chow down on grub from several food trucks on-site and play cornhole, Jenga and other lawn and board games.
Proceeds from the event benefited Barking Out Loud Rescue, Inc. and Turning Points.
