[1]Ovation Preparations Are Underway!
Plans are in the works for the sixth annual Ovation, a Lakewood Ranch festival that celebrates the region’s cultural assets with free live performances. Event organizers are extending an open invitation to area non-profits and performance groups who wish to participate in this popular festival.
Ovation will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 2 along Main Street in downtown Lakewood Ranch.
The festival will once again showcase performances from a variety of local musicians, dancers, chorus groups, drama teams, school groups and more. Event sponsorships are also still available. Ovation is the only event of its kind in Southwest Florida and draws attendees from the Tampa Bay area as well as points south towards Naples and Fort Myers. As a community-wide celebration of cultural arts, Ovation is a free event, both for attendees and participants. There is no charge for non-profit groups to participate in the event, and each will receive a designated table where they can advertise upcoming seasons, sell tickets for future events, and recruit new members and patrons.
