Friday Fest

The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall Friday Fest is an outdoor concert series that provides the community with four entertaining and FREE events from June to September, showcasing the best of local bands from Sarasota and Bradenton. Friday Fest brings together a wide variety of talented artists along with food trucks and drink stations on the Van Wezel lawn along the beautiful Sarasota Bayfront.

Opening the Friday Fest series on June 17 is Yesterdayze. This high-energy 60’s show band recreates fan-favorite songs from the era that changed music. Every tune is a Top-40 hit from 1960 to 1969 featuring classic favorites from The Beatles, The Supremes, The Rolling Stones and more. All band members have worldwide touring experience and are seasoned professionals who lived it, loved it...and still do! From the authentic, colorful costumes to the proven, guaranteed musical quality, Yesterdayze offers an upbeat "Flower Power Happy Hour" that’s not to be missed.
