Hi, friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.
Isn’t the picture above just wonderful? I love a good sunrise or sunset and they just make me appreciate the small things in life.
This photo was taken in Sanford! Which, you guys should visit (specifically next Wednesday). More on that a lil later :)
Here’s what’s happening this weekend ⤵️
Get ready for two days of music and a “diverse lineup” as the Maitland Jazz & Blues Festival swings back into town 🎷.
Besides the music, there will be food and drink vendors you can check out as well as the restaurants nearby, such as Boku Sushi or Sanford Brewing.
“Bring chairs and blankets, and grab a good spot in front of the two stages. The Blues Stage will be located on the north side of Independence Square - a scenic park with a large, grassy area. The Jazz Stage will be on the south side of Independence Lane - a roadway adjacent to the park,” the event’s website reads.
