Looking for something to do? Look no further. From the free monthly concerts of "Music on Main" to Celebrity Golf Tournaments to "Ovation, A Day for the Performing Arts," there's always some special event happening at Lakewood Ranch.

Whether it's a tailgate party at the Polo Fields, our famous Pug Parade, a special screening at the Lakewood Ranch Cinemas or spending the weekend at the Tour of Homes, you can live in a community that brings world-class festivals and interesting events to your doorstep. Here's just a sampling of Lakewood Ranch must see events:

Live performances from the Ovation stage, special demonstrations and interactive booths and displays bring Main Street to life with performing arts.

Oooh, aaah and laugh as you watch more than 100 wrinkle-faced, muscle-bound, jaunty canines strut their stuff at the Sarasota Magazine's Annual Pug Parade at Lakewood Ranch.

A must for art lovers, this benefit for the ArtCenter Manatee, is one of the South's premiere showcases for local, national and international artists.

Music, dancing and stargazing, it's the perfect way to spend a Florida springtime evening - all while you support The Foundation for Manatee Community College.

The highlight of the fall season: hundreds of American and international wines, foods from more than 35 of the area's best restaurants, cooking demos by well-known area chefs, and live entertainment.

It might be swing, it might be country, or it might just be a little bit of rock and roll. But it's always free and its always the first Friday of every month on Main Street at Lakewood Ranch.
