[1]LWR Main Street To Celebrate All Manner Of The Arts.
Ovation, a popular street festival celebrating the arts, returns to Lakewood Ranch Main Street February 5, 2011 as a fun way for people of all ages to experience the arts in a casual, outdoor setting. This free, family-friendly event starts at 10am. No coolers or lawn chairs are allowed as concert seating will be provided and restaurants will be open.
Entering its 4th year, Ovation is a signature event of the Lakewood Ranch community, drawing enthusiasts from Tampa to North Port and affords them the opportunity to enjoy the downtown district in a distinctly unique way. The local art scene comes to life as guests enjoy live performances from the Ovation Main Stage, participate in interactive booths and browse displays from talented artisans. Area cultural institutions will be on hand with season ticket packages and other special offers. And of course, the many shops, boutiques and restaurants of Main Street will be open for guests’ shopping and dining pleasure.
Ovation has proved to be a popular event in years past, with appreciative crowds turning out to enjoy performances from the likes of The Sarasota Opera, local high school drama clubs, local live theater, a free movie screening and many more. Because this day is intended to celebrate the arts, humanities and non-profit groups, it is brought to you by Lakewood Ranch at no cost to the organizations participating. This year’s festival is hosted by LWR Communities. Corporate sponsorship opportunities are available.
