Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix 2012


This weekend is the Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix Fesitval. It’s my first summer here, but I’ve heard it’s kind of a big deal. We all know that Sarasota is a sleepy coastal town in the summer so take this advantage to have fun while you can.


Events You Can’t Miss This Weekend:

1. Festival Parade of Boats
All competing boats will be making their way down Main Street starting at 7. Music, racers, and if it’s anything like usual parades, tons of freebies.


2. Block Party
After the parade stick around to party into the night. Vendors and food carts will take over Main Street starting at 5pm. Local darlings The Garbage Men and Chameleon will be providing live music in J.D. Hammel Park.

3. Powerboats by the Bay
Sounds just like a block party only this one will be at Centennial Park. All of the festival food and fun for free from 10 am to 9 pm. A perfect price for this economy.

 

4. Miss Super Boat Bikini Contest
If you happen to be at Powerboats by the Bay on Saturday stop by for the fine American tradition of objectifying women in the Grand Prix Bikini Contest from 3-4:30. Hey, no hatin’ here. If you’ve got it, flaunt it.

 

5. Super Boat Grand Prix
After all the fuss, head to Lido Beach to see the boats in action. There are two heats starting at 11am and 1pm. Bring your spf and settle in for a day by the waves.
