The Bay Park Conservancy (BPC), the non-profit organization transforming 53 acres of City-owned land along Sarasota Bay into a signature public park, celebrated the opening of the restored historic Chidsey Library Building and a new tree-lined Promenade along U.S. 41 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony joined by community partners and supporters. The debut of these new park features coincides with the Three Years and Thriving Third Anniversary Community Celebration, culminating in an ambitious Grand Finale Weekend (Nov. 1–2) featuring a headliner concert by DIAMOND-selling superstar Brian Kelley (first known as the Florida half of Florida Georgia Line) and internationally renowned Ghost Hounds (who have opened for The Rolling Stones, Garth Brooks and ZZ Top). The weekend continues with an all-day, all-out “Best of The Bay” Music Festival showcasing top local artists, including the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe. Learn more at thebaysarasota.org/calendar.
