_______________________
This week's list of things to do in Florida March 18, 19, 20, 2011 clearly shows just how diverse the state is. One of the main objectives of Florahome USA's 'Things to do in Florida' list is to appeal to as many tastes and interests as possible and while it's true you can't please everyone, this attempt really does cover a lot of ground. If you haven't yet taken off your clover green, there are still a few St. Patrick's day events left to enjoy but there's also the Asian Festival in Sarasota and the India Fest & Health Fair in Gainesville where you can sample a whole different world of taste and texture. That's another obvious point when scanning this list of things to do in Florida for March 18, 19, 20, 2011 - people, no matter where on the planet they happen to be from really do love to eat. While you'll rarely have trouble finding a good restaurant in Florida, it's also rare to find a special event here without food being a big part of the draw and this weekend is no exception. From Boca Raton's Boca Bacchanal to the Pinellas Park Firefighter's Chili Blaze, food is definitely a major theme. Tastes also vary in other areas as well but whether you get a kick out of Cole Porter or you'd rather be cuttin' the rug with The Flying Turtles String Band in High Springs, we've got you covered. Speaking of the dance at High Springs, if you're not taking advantage of all that Florida's State Parks and National Parks have to offer, you're missing out on some of the finest and most affordable activities you and your family could enjoy. Consider the photo of the suspension bridge at Ravine Gardens State Park shown below as an open invitation to join the rest of us who have taken that first step and discovered these natural wonders right in our own backyard. All of these things to do in Florida March 18, 19, 20, 2011 sound like a lot of fun so just go and have yourself a good time,...and don't forget the camera!
