Definitely have “A Lovely Night” from “La La Land” playing in my head right now.
Hi, friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.
This past weekend, I spent a lot of time outside, which was nice! One of the stops this weekend included visiting The Acre, a venue in Orlando that has a market, garden bar, coffee shop and more. The photograph up top is one I took from a previous visit, but that’s the vibe! Cute lights, live music and lots of outdoor space to enjoy.
10/10 recommend.
What’s your favorite go-to spot to spend some time outside? Let me know!
Now, onto why you’re really here. Here’s what’s happening this weekend ⤵️
Sticking with the theme of getting outside, the DeLand Outdoor Art Festival is bringing over 135 artists and crafters this Saturday and Sunday.
Now that sounds amazing.
You can check out different items like handmade jewelry, clothing, soaps and more 🧼. There will also be live music and yummy food! And if you’re planning to visit Saturday, you can hop over to the Florida Wildflower Garden Festival nearby.

🚨 Rare opportunity! 🚨
