Live Music

We just arrived back home from Safety Harbor's Third Friday Music Series. Every third Friday of the month, the city of Safety Harbor closes Main Street in the heart of downtown and host this free event. The event includes live music, vendors, street performers, delectable food choices and beverages, including alcohol. The merchants along Main Street participate by offering samples and treats along the sidewalk. The vendors are numerous, varied and include homemade soaps, candles, artwork, pottery, jewelry, eco-friendly products such as recycled handbags, clothing and pet products.

Food vendors included BBQ, Thai, Greek, Italian ice, pizza, candied nuts, knish, hot dogs, lobster bisque, crab delicacies and wings. Beer and wine were also being served, as well as various other specialty drinks. After picking up a delicious beverage, my children and I spread a blanket on the grassy lawn to enjoy the live music of the evening. Tonight was a folk type band that mixed the tunes up a bit with some blue grass and even included a song by Jim Morrison. The evening was perfect as the sun set over the horizon.

Safety Harbor is a beautiful, quaint town with a touch of innocence. Most events hosted by the city are free and are always a treat. Each third Friday features a different band with their own sounds. I have personally heard Celtic, Reggae, Rock and Jimmy Buffet style music on various third Friday evenings. The festivities last from 6-10 PM and the event is family friendly. Children are running around, laughing and playing, while parents enjoy some social time. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and look forward to the next third Friday in Downtown Safety Harbor.

Here's to your Happiness!
