Party on the Bay Presented by HH Staffing Services 

Celebrate Sarasota’s Vibrant Community at the Powel Crosley Estate

Let’s come together to celebrate the best of Sarasota, island style, at Party on the Bay: Aloha on the Bay!

Mark your calendars, gather your friends, and join us for one of Sarasota’s most anticipated waterfront traditions at the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce’s Party on the Bay, taking place February 26, 2026, from 4:00–7:00 pm at the iconic Powel Crosley Estate.

Set against breathtaking bay views, this tropical-inspired evening blends Sarasota’s signature charm with laid back island flair. Guests will enjoy an energetic atmosphere filled with vendor booths showcasing local businesses, artisans, and restaurants, offering fresh flavors, creative bites, and refreshing drinks. Live entertainment and vibrant experiences throughout the estate will keep the celebration going from start to finish.

Whether you’re a business looking to connect with new customers, a restaurant eager to highlight signature flavors, or an attendee ready to sip, sample, and soak in the sunset, Aloha on the Bay is your chance to shine.
