Things to Do this Weekend in Sanford – August 24 – 26, 2018

Events and Things to Do this Weekend in Sanford, FL

Have no fear if you missed this year’s Love your Shorts Film Festival, because the Summer Rewind (take a look at last year’s Summer Rewind!) is here and it’s the perfect way to spend your Friday evening, after a few rounds of Shuffle Board that is!

Then Saturday morning, sweat it out with the family at the Family Fitness Festival at the Sanford Civic Center before spending the evening competing at Airport Lanes while you bowl in the dark – or head on over to Downtown and hop from pub to pub at the Sanford’s Summer Pub Crawl! Of course, you could also just take it easy and listen to awesome live music while attending the Sanford Avenue Block Party (happening every 4th Saturday of the month).

By Sunday morning we hope you’re refreshed and ready to go again as you run, walk or dance your way across the finish line at the inaugural Sanford .327 Run (it’s the most fun you’ll ever have at a race, guaranteed!) and then wind down and cool off inside the Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center for the Sanford Jazz Ensemble’s Summer Concert.

Be sure to check out the entire list of Sanford happenings for this weekend in our weekly newsletter, delivered to your inbox every Thursday, just in time to plan your upcoming weekend in Sanford, because, as you know, there are always plenty of fun things to do in Sanford 😉
