Walter Parks & The Unlawful Assembly at Fogartyville

About the venue:

The Fogartyville Community Media and Arts Center is Sarasota’s premier "listening room," serving as a vibrant, community-run hub where music, art, and social activism intersect. Located in the Near North Sarasota area at 525 Kumquat Court, it shares a building with the listener-supported community radio station WSLR 96.5 FM. Fogartyville is known for its diverse Live Music: The venue hosts a wide range of genres, including Americana, folk, blues, jazz, and world music, featuring both local talent and nationally touring musicians.

Described as having a "1960s coffeehouse vibe," the space is casual and unpretentious, often attracting a "laid-back" or "old hippie" crowd. Indoor & Outdoor Spaces: The interior features café-style tables, chairs, and local art on the walls, while an outdoor patio offers additional seating and moonlight views. A bar inside serves beer, wine, and soft drinks at reasonable prices. For food, an on-site food truck (often Kumquat Kitchen) typically serves fresh, affordable meals like salmon, salads, and paninis during events.
