Our Best of Sarasota 2016 party is coming up on April 19 at Selby Gardens, and one of our favorite things to do each year is eat our way through the great lawn. We asked our party planner extraordinaire, Maria Brady of Choreographed Events, if she could give away any tidbits as to what to expect this year.

"Once again, we will have some of Sarasota's best restaurants represented," Brady says. And while she adds that participating restaurants are keeping mum about their menus, she says, "I can tell you that everyone is trying to outdo our last party!"

In addition to great food, Brady says there are many surprises in store for attendees this year. "Reality and fantasy will come together to amaze and sometimes startle in a Fellini-inspired way," she says. "It's going to be awesome!"
