The Largo Main Street Art Hop is an annual event. Buses will leave the Largo Community Center (Fourth Street and First Avenue NE) about every 10 minutes between 4 and 5 p.m. Saturday. The buses will make stops at 13 galleries about every 15 to 20 minutes. Patrons will be transported back to the center by 8:30 p.m. for entertainment, hors d'oeuvres, artists' demonstrations and silent auction. Tickets are $25 advance, $30 at the door. Those who want to drive themselves among galleries can buy a ticket and program at the community center. (727) 518-8442.
