Things to do in Florida October 28, 29, 30, 31, 2011

This Halloween list of things to do in Florida October 28, 29, 30, 31, 2011 is a trick or treat bag stuffed to satisfy both the traditional Halloweener and those who prefer their weekend fun free of zombies and killer clowns. Also for those who have already been shocked enough by the "new" economy, the list includes many events taking place at Florida's state parks offering a wide range of festive entertainment at a not so frightening price. Featured celebs on this week's list of things to do in Florida October 28, 29, 30, 31, 2011 are 3 Oklahoma boys who started at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere, took the music world by storm and in an mmmbop they were gone. Ah, but we always knew someday they'd come back and get us and take us away. Well they're here! Yes, Hanson will be spending Halloween in concert with us at Epcot after playing in St. Petersburg on the 28th and Fort Lauderdale Oct 29th. And also appearing in Florida October 26, 28 and 29 is one of the hottest performers on the planet - Josh Grobin. Tickets for these events may be gone in an mmmbop so HURRY! There are a lot more things to do in Florida October 28, 29, 30, 31, 2011, like the Florida - Georgia game in Jacksonville, the Panther Festival in Naples, the John Hamilton Gillespie Celebration in Sarasota ,,, well really, it's quite a list so maybe you best get started.

While looking for things to do in Florida October 7, 8, 9, 2011, you may also want to clear your calendar for October 24th through the 30th - especially if you live in or near the Sarasota, Florida area. Whether you're a current or former resident of Sarasota, or maybe plan to visit Florida's Sun Coast the latter part of this month, this is your opportunity to pay tribute to the man considered the Father of Sarasota, John Hamilton Gillespie. With featured events from golf which Mr. Gillespie himself brought to the state of Florida, to music and dance celebrating his Scottish heritage, The 2nd Annual Owen Burns Celebration honoring John Hamilton Gillespie promises to be the perfect time to enjoy memories of old Sarasota as well as a chance to make some new memories with family and friends. As for this coming weekend, there are bookoodles of things to do in Florida October 7, 8, 9, 2011. Halloween is already creeping up on us with SeaWorld's Halloween Spooktacular or Fright Nights at Florida's famous Silver Springs.
