Hi, friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.
I definitely have a love-hate relationship with the time change right now. Love that it gets darker later, but holy moly I do not like driving to work in dark in the morning! It really feels like it takes me forever to feel like I am officially awake.
It’s a doozy.
But that leaves more time in the afternoon/evenings for some fun!
Here’s what’s happening this weekend ⤵️
The popular, springtime Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is back!
The festival brings an estimated 350,000 visitors with art categories like digital art, jewelry, glass, painting, metal, photography, sculpture and more.
This weekend will be a little hot, but you can still get out and enjoy the festivities!

Get ready to eat fair food, ride too many rides and enjoy some fun shows!
The Space Coast State Fair is back for its springtime return, starting this weekend.
There will be shows at the fair offered various nights, including The Wolves of The World Show, The FARMily Feud Show and Comedy Magic Show by Bob Bohme. One of the exhibits even includes an old-time creamery where visitors can milk a cow and pasteurize the milk for a finished product.
