Truly a One-of-a-Kind Place<br />
to Shop and Dine on St. Armands<br />
MARY CAROL FITZGERALD<br />
You’ll find 138 merchants including boutiques, specialty<br />
shops, galleries, and restaurants. Stroll around Circle Park<br />
and take a look at the “Circus Ring of Fame” - a sidewalk<br />
commemorating outstanding circus performers. Enjoy<br />
breakfast, lunch, or dinner at one of the many sidewalk<br />
restaurants and cafes. Stick around after sunset and enjoy<br />
St. Armands’ nightlife scene.<br />
Be sure to take note of the classically designed statuary<br />
featured throughout St. Armands. There are 33 statues,<br />
16 of which were purchased by John Ringling in the 1920s,<br />
supporting his desire to bring art and culture to the city of<br />
<strong>Sarasota</strong>. A self-guided walking tour brochure is available at<br />
St. Armands’ businesses as well as near some of the statues.<br />
The St. Armands Circle Association and merchants host<br />
several special events throughout the year including art<br />
and craft festivals, sidewalk sales, exotic car shows, and<br />
special holiday themed events. Visit <strong>Must</strong><strong>Do</strong>.com or<br />
StArmandsCircleAssoc.com for details on upcoming events.<br />
