Once a year, one of Sarasota’s most well-lit venues gets a little brighter.

Dozens of Junior League of Sarasota members and supporters donned their best — and most colorful — Lilly Pulitzer ensemble and headed to Coon Key Oct. 16 for the Lilly Pulitzer Luncheon & Fashion Show at Sarasota Yacht Club.

Guests bid on silent auction items, checked out the latest Lilly fashions and enjoyed lunch while raising money for the League.
