Come Sail Away in Sarasota

The Downtown Venice Labor Day Weekend Craft Festival is a free event held on Miami Avenue in Downtown Venice. The two-day festival takes place September 3rd-4th from 10 am-4 pm. If you’re looking to leave Siesta Key and the vacation rentals you’re staying at for a quick trip, take the entire family to this exciting event.
>Family vacations are enhanced by cultural experiences. See how 80 artists and crafters make their living doing something they love. Even if you don’t buy anything, you’ll walk away from the experience with valuable memories of the time you spent with your family in Venice. The architecture alone in the downtown area is worth taking in and photographing, so make sure to have your camera ready!
