Winter Garden

Winter Garden has an annual fireworks display at Newton Park by Lake Apopka; we often miss it because we are away, but this year we enjoyed the event – here’s a little video of the night:

And some photos:

We spent much of the day enjoying the “120th anniversary” celebrations downtown in Winter Garden – our first activity was an interesting (though hard to hear due to all the music) history walk along Plant Street where we learned among other things that it’s really only the 115th anniversary of establishing Winter Garden (a misread in the past of hand written “1908” as “1903”!)

There were lots of food choices with many food trucks and stalls as well as the regular Winter Garden restaurants, all very busy!

And there were five or more stages set up for music and other performances; we enjoyed blue grass, country and other performances at various locations … Here’s some photos from the day:

I did a little video recording of some of the performances, as well:
