The Downtown Sarasota Alliance, in partnership with the Sarasota Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Downtown Improvement District, welcomes you to beautiful downtown Sarasota.

We have prepared this book to help you discover the diverse and colorful collage of shopping and neighborhood districts, each with a distinct atmosphere, which together make up our Gulfshore city that we are proud to call home. It is the Alliance’s mission to provide a unifi ed voice to promote and enrich Historic Downtown Sarasota, and our vision to make the City of Sarasota the best city in America to live, work and visit.

Whether you are visiting for the first time or live here year ’round, we invite you to explore downtown, where you will find more than 200 independently owned shops, restaurants and cafes. Experience art galleries, world-class opera, orchestra and ballet, theaters and botanical gardens, all within a short walk of each other. Sarasota is a very special place, and downtown is its heart.
