MAITLAND, Fla. – With its open spaces, nature sounds and close proximity to food, arts and entertainment, Lake Lily stands out as a great place to let day turn to dusk in Central Florida.
While those amenities can normally take you on a walk away from the lake, the Maitland Rotary Club seeks to bring it all together for a weekend of free, family-friendly fun at the 46th Maitland Rotary Arts Festival, “Art Under the Stars.”
