What can you expect to see in and around Munn Park – First Friday “Honoring Service”?
With all Lakeland First Friday events, Downtown Lakeland Partnership has always done an outstanding job organizing, which proved at last month event of “Art Walk”. I’ve never seen that many people downtown Lakeland comingling, shopping, dining and having a good time.
It all starts at 6:00 p.m. with the National Anthem that will be performed by the Harrison School for the Arts string quartet in front of Brooke Pottery.
- Color guard demonstration by Lake Gibson High, Lake Region, and George Jenkins High Schools.
- Dance and ROTC performances throughout the evening are scheduled – Kentucky Avenue will close from Lemon Street to Oak.
- Music and Entertainment
- Student art displays along the streets
At 7:00 p.m. between Main and Lemon Street, you’ll be entertained by clogging and nutcracker dances.
- Girl Scouts are sponsoring card making activities to be sent to troops overseas.
- Massages will be offered
- Prizes to win, sign up for drawings and more.
- Lifestyle Fitness Center will also have you entertained
There is so much more from Nonperishable Food Drive organized by Brooke Pottery to benefit the Talbot House to Operation Drop Zone donating items for our active military members deployed overseas. Think about our military veterans when you shop downtown Lakeland!
Also, Senator Paula Dockery, who just announced her run for governor will be there to talk with you.
Stop by at the classic car show!
Being married to a veteran, who served 20 years in the Army and both of my sons (SIL) serving in the military, one as a Marine reservist and the other active duty in the Air Force, this is very dear to my heart. Veterans Day is November 11th and Lakeland, Florida’s First Friday local event “Honoring Service” could not have been timed any better.

American Idol in Lakeland? Well, I do know for fact that Lakeland has some great local amateur talents. As it is with every First Friday of the month, the Downtown Lakeland Partnership hosts this special free event at Munn Park. February’s theme is “Open Mic Night”; local amateur musicians of all ages are encouraged to take part in this celebration on February 6th, 2009 to see, who will be voted the next “American Idol in Lakeland”.
You, the public can purchase tickets for only 25¢ each Downtown Lakeland at a designated area. Voting for your favorite artist is really simple. All you have to do is put as many tickets you have or want to give in the musician’s tip jar, while listening to their favorite tunes along the side walk. So, who will be the next “Lakeland Idol” – only you can decide, so come on down and take part in this great event full of music and entertainment.
“Open Mic Night” is from 6:00-9:00pm – Shops and restaurants are open late and be sure to check out the Classic Car Show on Tennessee Avenue.
Stay tuned for next month First Friday post – “March Back in Time – It’s 80′s Night”
