More than 70 organizations from the public and private sector are involved as sponsors and exhibitors. The free festival runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Founders say the festival was organized to celebrate the importance of Sarasota Bay to the region’s environment and economy. … The first “iceberg” ever seen in Sarasota Bay will be unveiled thanks to the creativity of New College Sculpting Professor Richard Herzog.
