Dust off your leg warmers, tease that hair, and get ready to moonwalk back in time! Sarasota’s free Fresh Friday monthly event, returns with “Back to the 80’s,” bringing all the retro vibes on Friday, April 4, 2025, from 7 to 10 p.m. on Main Street in downtown Sarasota.
Taking the stage is Scarlet Drive, turning up the volume with an electric live performance that’ll transport you straight to the glory days of MTV and mixtapes. This five-piece, female-fronted powerhouse from Florida’s Gulf Coast knows how to bring the heat, playing all the iconic 80’s hits you know and love. Grab a signature cocktail, savor tasty bites from downtown’s finest hospitality partners, and get ready to dance, sing, and relive the magic of the most unforgettable decade.
“Fresh Fridays are all about celebrating what makes Sarasota special — and what better way than with an 80’s throwback party?” said Joseph Grano, president of Next-Mark and Fresh Fridays event organizer. “From the killer live music to the amazing local flavors, it’s the ultimate chance to come together and make some memories — 80’s style.”
In addition to live music and delicious offerings, “Back to the 80’s” is bringing the arcade nostalgia! Step into the ultimate retro arcade zone and take your shot at Pac-Man at this free event. Whether you’re a gaming pro or just chasing that high score, it’s your chance to level up the fun and play like it’s 1985.
As always, Fresh Fridays is free and open to all ages. Be sure to also come early to claim your free giveaway and take home a memento of this special event. Supplies are limited, so arriving early is the best way to secure your exclusive gift and start the night off right!
