About this Event
🎗️ 2026 COASTAL CLASSIC FESTIVAL
Fishing. Food. Live Music. Family Fun. One Incredible Cause.
Saturday, September 26 | 12 PM – 10 PM
Phillippi Estate Park | Sarasota, Florida
LET’S GO, SARASOTA! 🎣🎸🌴
The 2026 Casting For The Kids Coastal Classic Festival is taking over Phillippi Estate Park for an entire day of live music, incredible food, local vendors, competitions, cold drinks, family fun and so much more—all while raising money for children and families battling childhood cancer right here in our community.
This isn't just another festival.
It's a party with a purpose.
Every sponsorship, every ticket, every raffle, every drink and every person who shows up helps Casting For The Kids continue doing what we do every day: helping families stay focused on their child instead of worrying about how they're going to pay the mortgage, rent, utilities, car payment or put food on the table.
🎸 THREE AMAZING BANDS. ONE HUGE DAY.
We're bringing live music to the Coastal Classic stage all day long!
Kicking things off is Audio Orchid, bringing the energy and getting the party started.
Then Elipsis takes the stage to keep it rolling.
And when the sun starts going down, we're turning it ALL THE WAY UP with our 2026 Coastal Classic headliner:
HOME GROWN! 🔥🎸
Grab a drink, find your spot and get ready for an incredible day of live music.
🍔 FOOD TRUCKS, ICE CREAM & COLD DRINKS
COME HUNGRY!
We're bringing in food trucks with plenty of great options to keep you fueled throughout the day.
And yes—we've got dessert covered too, including an ICE CREAM WALK-THROUGH! 🍦
Walk through, grab something cold and sweet, and get right back to the festival.
Food. Ice cream. Cold drinks. Live music.
What else do you need?!
🛍️ SHOP THE VENDOR VILLAGE
We're filling Phillippi Estate Park with local businesses, makers and vendors!
Take a walk through the festival, shop local, discover some awesome businesses and see everything our community has to offer.
This event is about more than Casting For The Kids. It's about bringing Sarasota together for an incredible weekend and an even bigger purpose.
🐟 THINK YOU CAN THROW A MULLET?
Oh yeah. It's happening.
THE COASTAL CLASSIC MULLET TOSS!
Grab a mullet, step up to the line and LET IT FLY!
We're bringing a little old-school Florida competition to the festival. Challenge your friends, challenge your family and find out who can launch that mullet the farthest.
Bragging rights are absolutely on the line.
And trust us—you'll want the video. 😂🐟
⭐ WANT TO DO THE COASTAL CLASSIC IN STYLE?
Welcome to the ALL-INCLUSIVE VIP TENT.
Get out of the heat and enjoy the Coastal Classic from our exclusive air-conditioned VIP area.
VIP guests can kick back, enjoy BBQ, drinks, college football and VIP amenities while still being right in the middle of the Coastal Classic atmosphere.
Watch some football. Grab some food. Have a drink. Cool off. Head back out to the festival. Then come back and do it all over again.
This is how you Coastal Classic.
VIP space is limited, so don't wait until festival weekend to decide you want in!
🎗️ AND HERE'S WHY WE'RE REALLY DOING IT.
Behind the bands, food trucks, vendors, fishing, VIP tent and all the fun is something much bigger.
Kids are fighting cancer.
Families in our own community are hearing words no parent should ever have to hear. Their normal lives stop overnight, but their mortgage doesn't. Their rent doesn't. Their electric bill doesn't. Their car payment doesn't.
That's where Casting For The Kids comes in.
We help carry those burdens so parents can concentrate on the only thing that should matter:
Their child.
So come have an incredible time with us.
Bring the kids. Bring your friends. Bring the whole family.
Eat something.
Shop the vendors.
Throw a mullet.
Grab a cold drink.
Rock out with Audio Orchid, Elipsis and Home Grown.
Go VIP.
Stay all day.
And know that while you're having an amazing time, you're helping us make life a little easier for a family going through the unimaginable.
🎗️ ONE COMMUNITY. ONE HUGE WEEKEND. ONE MISSION.
Because They Can't.
