This elegant evening celebrated the 2025 Jean & Alfred Goldstein Exhibition: "George Harrison: A Gardener’s Life," highlighting the former Beatle's passion for gardening. The event also included a special toast honoring Jennifer Rominiecki’s 10-year anniversary as President and CEO of Selby Gardens. Proceeds supported Selby Gardens’ community education programs, international research, conservation efforts, and world-class horticulture displays, enabling thousands of underserved children and their families to connect with the bayfront sanctuaries.

Celebrate Independence Day with one of Sarasota’s most dazzling and iconic traditions — the Bayfront Fireworks Over Sarasota Bay! This free public event lights up the night sky with a spectacular fireworks display launched over the bay, offering perfect views from Island Park, Bayfront Park, downtown Sarasota rooftops, or even the Ringling Bridge. Arrive early to grab your favorite spot on the lawn, bring a picnic or purchase food and drinks from nearby vendors and restaurants, and enjoy the festive atmosphere as locals and visitors gather to celebrate America’s birthday.
