Historic Downtown Sanford

"Awesome Porchfestival, many good bands, great afternoon. Next year I bring chairs and drinks."

"The food truck scene here is amazing. It’s a culinary heaven for some and provides excellent unique scenery for photographers. Walking along the waterfront was such a therapeutic experience after devouring some good stuffs from the food truck. Witnessing anglers having beers on the dockside after a catch-release session can change your perspective on life. Demographics here on a given Saturday morning/afternoon are somewhat different from the Winter Garden’s and similar to that of Lake Eola’s; ethnically diverse, singles, less kids. So the food selection exactly reflects this demographic; more adventurous, bold with flavors. It seems they are many competent eateries around the downtown. I will definitely come back to try non-truck restaurants next time!"

"First time going but I really enjoyed the scenery.."

"A pleasant surprise how Historic Downtown Sanford has changed for the best keeping that small town with old good looking buildings. It looks alive and renewed. Lots of local businesses, museum, places to eat. Safe, clean streets, family friendly, plenty street parking."

"Was going to dine at the famous German restaurant but saw the food trucks gathering. There are about 30-40 vendors. We got a Cuban sandwich, Brazilian sausage set, and a BBQ pork steak set. The place was well organized and a small tent for customers to sit and eat. Our food was good except the Cuban sandwich was small and not much taste. Good place to spend the evening (of course the ice cream too)"
