The 28th annual Punta Gorda, Florida block party kicks of at 9 am on Saturday, April 12th, 2014. Heralded as the biggest one day event in Southwest Florida, this is something you don’t want to miss. Starting at 9am in downtown Punta Gorda, there will be three stages of live entertainment for the entire family.
Remember Paul Revere & The Raiders, the band made widely popular back in the 1960′s by Music Icon Dick Clark? Former lead singer Mark Lindsay will be a headliner for the event. One of my favorite bands, American Made, will be playing as well. American Made is very popular in the area and plays many of the REO Speedwagon songs made famous in the 1980′s. Sure to be a huge event. Remember there is free parking in the city parking garage on Herald court . Admission is just $1 for adults and free for kids 12 and under.

While there, stop by the Punta Gorda Farmers Market open between 8am-1pm. Located near Taylor Street and Olympia Avenue downtown, you can expect to find live music, artists working, fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, fish, XO healthy chocolate (Be sure to ask about their XoLove chocolate love bites), pastries, breads, cupcakes, handmade jewelry,live plants and so much more.
Whatever your pleasure, you will find it in Punta Gorda this weekend. See you there!
