A BLAST FROM THE PAST SUMMER FESTS

Originally a part of the Suncoast Summer fest's previous incarnation, the Offshore Grand Prix festival, this event has been on hiatus for several years, but we bet it will return at some point in the future as it has been an on/off event in the festival. Here's more on the original "Miss Super Boat Grand Prix” Bikini Contest of years past.  June Sarasota Events on Escape-to-Sarasota.com
