Marketplace & Experience Partners

Are you ready to elevate your brand at one of Sarasota’s most dynamic event locations?

At Nathan Benderson Park, we’re not just hosting events—we’re creating memorable experiences. Our Marketplace & Experience Partners are an essential part of this journey. Whether you’re showcasing local arts, crafts, innovative products, or unique services, your participation adds to the park’s energetic atmosphere and community spirit.

By becoming an Experience Partner, you’ll have the opportunity to engage directly with thousands of event-goers who are eager to explore local businesses. We invite you to join our growing community, where every event is an opportunity to expand your reach and build lasting relationships. Please note that while every submission is welcomed, participation is subject to a competitive selection process. Selected partners are required to provide a valid certificate of insurance at least 72 hours before the event. This ensures that both Sarasota County Government and Nathan Benderson Park Conservancy Inc. are appropriately covered. For any questions or additional details, our events staff is ready to help.
