October is almost upon us and come the 8^th and the 9^th, Celebration Town Center will undergo a transformation, as the season’s falling leaves cover Market Street for the well-known autumn celebration known as Oktoberfest. Expect to see beautiful and rustling colored leaves while you enjoy the music by the lakeside, or rock out with your friends or family in this unique once-a-year extravaganza.

The fun kicks off on the 8^th of October, Friday, with Oktoberfest celebrated in the age-old German tradition. The first half of the event will feature the sound of Dan Witucki & Heimatland Musikanten. Everyone in town, young and old, is invited to join in this one-of-a-kind live show, featuring sing-a-long segments and good old yodeling.

Then the next day on the 9^th, join the crowd at Celebration Town Center as they welcome Kattyshack.

If you’re looking to get your musical fix from the 80’s, then you don’t want to miss out on this party.

Other activities include hayrides, pumpkin paintings, and a whole lot more.

Movie buffs listen up! If you’ve yet to the see the Academy Award nominated film The Blind Side, now’s the opportunity for you to finally watch it.

Celebration is gearing up for another grand ‘celebration’, as the Artists of Celebration, together with Lexin Capital, host the Celebration Art Stroll once again. The art show takes place on the 22^nd of May, and will feature artists showing demonstrations on how to create art works such as watercolour paintings, charcoal sketches, oil paintings, and many more. The ‘Stroll’ kicks off at 5:30 in the afternoon, ending at 9:00 in the evening.

The show will feature all sorts of activities for the whole family, including a Life Drawing station, where visitors can get a quick-sketch portrait of them themselves for only $20.00. All they have to do is stay still for a session that lasts 10 minutes at most. Aroceeds gathered at the station will be donated to an Artists of Celebration partner charity.

According Rob Kaz, one of the artists who’ll be at the event, the Art Stroll gives artists like him a better opportunity at showing the public the magic and wonder of art, whether it’s through drawing, sculpting, painting or what have you. Seeing the delighted reactions of visitors in an instant is priceless, he said.

It’s an understatement to say that Rob is excited for the event.

Mark your calendars and don’t forget to check this art-filled event in Celebration, Florida.

Taking place in Celebration, Florida, on the 21^st of May is an event that calls for support and pledges for the fight against breast cancer.

Dubbed as the “Promise Chair Affair,” this event is a celebration that features local breast cancer survivors who have come together to raise awareness on the importance of cancer research. Seven cancer survivors in Celebration have spent most of their time hand painting wooden chair in recognition of their chosen theme. The survivors not only got to work together, they also shared their stories and had some laughs – for some, it was an experience far better than the days they spent fighting the disease.

And now the time has come to present their hand painted chairs to the public at The Promise Chair Affair and auction them off for a cause.

Again, the event takes place on the 21^st of May, Friday, at the Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club in Celebration. The event will be an elegant evening of laughs and good food, all in honor of Celebration’s breast cancer survivors and the fight against the deadly disease.  The Promise Chair Affair will feature a nice dinner, good music, and a whole lot more. Don’t miss out on this event for a cause.

Taking place on the 14^th and 15^th of May is an event in Celebration, Florida, that celebrates the spirit and energy of cancer survivors and the caregivers who spend their time caring for those afflicted with the debilitating disease.

The Relay for Life, which will be held at Lakeside Park, is aimed at giving voices to these individuals, as well as commemorating those who lost the battle against cancer. This year’s event will have the theme, “Welcome to Broadway: Cancer’s Final Curtain Call.”

Some of the activities at the Relay for Life include amazing aerial performances by the group, Anti-Gravity, as well as musical performances by the town’s very own Celebration Relay Teams. Celebration Montessori School’s Taiko Drum Performers are set to kick off the event’s entertainment, while Babe Plant and Joe Magic will be taking care of the music as the evening goes by.

Those interested in staying fit will be assisted by Segways, who’ll be helping with laps around the lake for only $5.00. Proceeds will be donated to Relay for Life Celebration.

The 18 hour Relay is an event filled with non-stop fun, laughter, and of course support and inspiration. Relay Teams will be busy selling food and other items such as clothes, books and many more, so don’t forget to bring some cash with you so you don’t come home empty handed.
