Opening the Van Wezel's free outdoor Friday Fest concert series on June 22 is reggae band, Jah Movement. Fronted by hometown hero and vocalist extraordinaire Shantel Norman, Jah Movement plays Top 40, Funk, Soul, R&B and Calypso Dance music. Winners of Creative Loafing's 2016 'Best Local Reggae Band' in the Tampa Bay Area and recent 2nd place winners of Sarasota Herald-Tribune's 'Best Local Entertainment' for 2017, Jah Movement is made up of some of the best musicians in the South West Florida Region. Don't miss out - "The Movement" is sure to get you dancing!

Each Friday Fest event runs from 5:00-9:00 PM and are located on the Bayside Lawn of the Van Wezel. Concerts will feature food trucks, beverage vendors and more - it's the perfect spot to enjoy a summer sunset over Sarasota Bay. While blankets and lawn chairs are welcome at all Friday Fest events, outside food and drink, including coolers, are prohibited. Friday Fest takes place "rain or shine;" in the event of inclement weather, the festival will move indoors to our Grand Foyer or the main stage of the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.
