Carrollwood Cultural Center — Attraction in Citrus Park

Marketplace on the second Saturday of every month; amazing. Great vendors, delicious food, pet friendly and the best opportunity to support small businesses!! Mark your calendars because this cultural center in Carrollwood is doing a great job giving all these vendors the opportunity to show their products to this community. They have plants, garden ornaments, pet food and products, homemade yuminess like chocolate, teas, salsa, fruits n veggies, Mexican awesomeness, food trucks, homemade soaps, honey, organic stuff, Jewelry, cutting boards, and other stuff you will definitely find useful for you or your loved ones. Don't stay home, join everyone at the cultural center in Carrollwood next time they have the fresh Marketplace!!! March 2025 I love shopping from vendors who make their own products. From detergent sheets (I'm changing from my current one), to lip moisturizers and creams like this lady Lorena; she makes a lip balm and it is really great!! They sell home decor, recycled jewelry, pet products, clothes, even food, coffee and have a mini market. I'm always happy to see a lot of people attending and supporting these small businesses. June 2025: Davy Daniels really rocked the stage today at the cultural center's fresh market place. We loved it today, it was packed with great food vendors. Enjoyed fresh cold coconut water and lemonade with ginger and mint, shopped for fresh groceries and my usual coffee cup. We love seeing the doggies all over the place 😍 we can't get enough of the fresh market at the Carrollwood...

Very easy to access and viewable from the road with a big sign which includes their address. The parking lot is a good size and has handicapped parking.

The center itself is truly amazing and impressive. The moment you walk in the front doors you are greeted with beautiful artwork hanging on the walls and a monthly calendar of events, as well as a front and center piece showing the debuted or featured artists.

The laws are also adorned with more art as you make your way around and into the Centre. The theatre/performance area is attractive and the seats are individual and cushiony. Although I myself have not been there to see any performance, I am enticed to go back because I know the quality of the shows they produce.

The grounds outside behind the center are large and well shaded with many trees. They also have a small landing area to accommodate set up for certain events. They have long white tables available also to seat your guests.

Overall, I truly enjoyed my visit there although not going for an event at the center inside, but rather the Food Truck Rally that they hosted this past weekend. There was a decent turnout and the food trucks they had their where amazing. They truly catered to every member of the family having something each person could find.

So in my opinion, if you're looking to enjoy a great theater experience and a bit of Art in a night on the town, I would include Carrollwood Cultural Center in your plans. Their staff is very friendly and willing to...

This a fun center with loads of classes that are a great way for people to meet others in their community, especially if you’re older like me so you don’t get out much. I’ve taken some classes and met some friends that I still keep up with. My niece has been a member of the youth summer program they have and each time we speak she’s telling me something new or fun they did. My only issue is with some of the instructors they hire. My niece was in the Wizard of Oz production and we overheard an instructor saying intolerant things about one of the children who donned rainbow gear. I was told by my niece that the instructor was Miss Jordan and the student she was talking about goes by they/them. Regardless of what one believes, spaces like this are meant to be safe for children to express and not be talked down by those...
