Your Punta Gorda Weekend -- Pedal in Paradise, Art Festivals and Night Life

So little time, too much to choose from.  We've been getting comments about how there is so much going on in one weekend if Punta Gorda that we need to spread happenings out more...but hey it's just a busy place especially in season when the weather is so perfect.  And this weekend is no exception.   Watch out for bikers as Team Punta Gorda's Pedal and Play in Paradise entertains 300 riders or more.  And at the Event Center, there's the annual Buckler's Craft Fair.  A juried art show and festival, the annual Peace River National Art Festival, with hundreds of nationally-accalimed artists displaying their works will be a Laishley Park both Saturday and Sunday sponsored by our own Visual Arts Center.  The Historical Society is running their Flea Market at the old train station on Saturday.

And, then there is the night time,  the local clubs and venues continue to provide  entertainment for listening and dancing both tonight and Saturday:
