Diverse Fest 2025

The Harvest Sarasota is thrilled to announce the 3rd annual Diverse Fest. The event – which is free and open to the community – takes place on Saturday, June 14, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. on the Harvest/Harvest House campus (3650 17th St., Sarasota). Highlights will include live performances by the Harvest Band, Dingbat Theatre, Azara Ballet, and all-female pop/country band Merge Eleven. Spotlight vendors will include Embracing Our Differences, Senior Friendship Centers, Project Pride SRQ, Free Mom Hugs, Dingbat Theatre, and many more. Food vendors will include Scurry’s Down Home Cooking, Leo’s Clean Kitchen and UaStar Island Juice & Peanuts. The event was created in order to bring people together in the spirit of diversity and inclusivity; the goal was to remind the wider community that it is our differences that make Sarasota beautiful. During previous Fests, organizers report that several thousand community members visited The Harvest campus over the course of the event. All ages are welcome and there are family-friendly activities throughout the day. Presenting Sponsor is Seacoast Bank. Visit diversefest.com for more information.
