Things to do in Florida July 8, 9, 10, 2011

Got the post fireworks blues? Cheer up! There are still lots of fun things to do in Florida July 8, 9, 10, 2011. For example, the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast as well as some merry folk in the Port Charlotte area have decided to beat the summer blues with 'Christmas in July'. That may be a bit early for some, but if you think you need a little Christmas just this very minute, just hitch up the old sleigh and head on over. Music is another way to escape those summer doldrums and for Jacksonville Beach, that means the 'Cool Sounds of Hot Summer Nights' - a part of the Summer Jazz Concert Series at the Sea Walk Pavilion. For some people, it may take something really different to shake them out of their dog days gloom, and one of the most unusual on this week's list of things to do in Florida July 8, 9, 10, 2011 is the 27th Annual Underwater Music Festival in the Florida Keys. It's not for everybody, but it's definitely different. Speaking of different, one of the most unique entertainers alive will be in Tampa July 9th - THE AMAZING KRESKIN! That word, 'amazing' gets a lot of play these days, but Kreskin really can't be described any other way. Many have seen the 'Mentalist' on TV, but rarely does one get the chance to see the real deal up close and personal. This is your chance Tampa. As a matter of fact, Kreskin could probably tell you exactly what kind of things you'll be wanting to do in Florida this July 8, 9, 10, 2011. But then again,... why spoil the surprise?
