Maitland City Talk

The city of Maitland’s “Season of Light” celebration, ushering in the holiday season, will take place on Saturday, Dec. 7 beginning at 3 p.m. in Lake Lily Park. This longstanding tradition is a prelude to the holiday season and is highlighted by the lighting of the City of Maitland Holiday Tree that will float in the center of beautiful Lake Lily until January 2014.

We invite you to join us in this special holiday celebration that provides an excellent opportunity to make new holiday memories and share the spirit of the season with family, friends and loved ones. You may even run into Santa Claus!

You are invited to stroll around Lake Lily Park and enjoy the holiday Yum Yum Cupcake, Midnight Sun Ice cream Sandwich Company, All Things Sweet, Tucks Table, and The Big Cheese food trucks. Holiday gift vendors will be open for gift shopping. You might find that special gift you have been looking for.

Entertainment for this year’s event will begin at 3 p.m. and will feature live stage performances by the Outer Toons. The Starving Artist Studio Dancers will appear and from time to time you may discover strolling holiday performers in the park. Later in the afternoon, we will be joined by the Maitland Middle School Wind Ensemble, Stage Band, Chorus, Chamber Orchestra, the Maitland Colby Studio Dancers and The Waterhouse Dickens Carolers.

We invite you to take time out of your holiday schedule to visit with us at Lake Lily Park as we celebrate the holidays with a special visit from Santa and a firework finale at 7 p.m. What better way to get the entire family into the holiday spirit then to come out to the ‘Season of Light’ celebration in Maitland’s Lake Lily Park. We hope to see you there – Happy Holidays!
