This resurgent event is truly a dream no longer deferred for the cat people in your life. Kitty Fest, the feline-centric market pop-up in Sanford, promises cat-themed vendors and merchants, Liberation Cat House on site with adoptable guests of honor, an art-supply swap, and food and drink a-flowing.
Then things get delightfully weird: There will be meow-a-oke (don’t ask! Do tell!), a cat-themed costume contest that is strictly human-only, and a hissing-cat-themed photobooth to properly meowmorialize the day. Epic.
12:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 22, Tuffy’s Music Box & Lounge, 200 Myrtle Ave., Sanford, tuffysmusicbox.com, free.
