Grab your lawn chairs and blankets, and pack your coolers, as The Celebration Foundation and CROA host the Spring Concert in the Park Series at Lakeside Park. The Spring Series is open to Celebration residents only. There is no fee for admission.

A great community deserves great music. The goal of the Concert Series Committee is to bring the finest music organizations to Celebration. This volunteer driven endeavor is supported by ticket sales and sponsorship. The Series aims to expose youth in the area to the beauty and skill of high quality classical music performances and typically offers four to five concerts beginning in December.

Each year the Celebration Foundation invites local organizations such as The Orlando Philharmonic, Brass Band of Central Florida, and the ever popular Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra to play in downtown Celebration at Community Presbyterian Church. Additionally, the Concert Committee brings in nationally or internationally acclaimed performances. Highlights have included the Vienna Boys Choir, Notre Dame Glee Club and Brooklyn Rider.

“The Celebration Art & Wine Stroll gives the artists a chance to connect with the community, each other and visitors while delving into what we love – be it painting, sculpting, drawing…  And instant feedback from onlookers is priceless.  I’m excited to be amongst my fellow artists in the stroll,” says Rob Kaz, one of the participating artists and Celebration resident.   “This is a wonderful and intimate event which is quickly becoming a favorite of the folks in Celebration.  Both artists and patrons alike give a big thumbs up.  The Stroll offers a fun evening out for families while art truly brings people together.  The affordably priced artwork is a bonus!” says Meryl Rachlin, President of Artists of Celebration and organizer of the Celebration Art & Wine Stroll.   The Artists of Celebration is a Celebration community group formed by artists and those with an appreciation for the arts.
