A note from the founder

When our son was born, my wife and I had a whole new reason to explore Sarasota. Weekend markets, holiday festivals, and all those community events that make a place feel like home.

The problem? Finding them was a scavenger hunt. Some events lived on Facebook. Others were buried in calendars. And we'd often hear about them after they happened.

SRQ Weekly is our answer to that. We built it to be the best place to find what's happening in the Sarasota area — festivals, community events, family-friendly happenings, and the stuff worth knowing about.

Most events sites dump everything into one endless list with sponsored posts, business seminars, and things that aren't really events at all. We focus on the things people actually want to do, and make it easy to find what's relevant to you.

We're always looking for the next great thing to do around here, and we love sharing what we find.

Thanks for being here.
