Things to do in Sarasota

Sarasota has a cultural life well beyond its size. The Ringling museum complex, Sarasota Opera, Asolo Repertory Theatre, the Sarasota Ballet and a busy calendar of festivals make it one of Florida's strongest arts towns, and that draws visitors and second-home owners who want more than a beach. The economy leans on healthcare, professional services, construction, real estate and tourism, with a steady stream of entrepreneurs and remote workers relocating from the Northeast and Midwest.
