2008 Lakeland, FL Holiday Calendar
Every year the Holiday Season is filled with shows, activities, shopping and a lot of hustle and bustle. Lakeland has so many activities that it is often hard to keep track. I have tried to begin a list of various activities put on by different entertainment venues or art groups in town. I say begin because I am sure to have missed a few.
If your group has an event please comment, and I will add the event to the running list. Also if you know an event is a must then please comment so others will be sure to attend. Already I am excited, yet tired, about thinking of all that is happening!
