December 19: Mount Dora 5K
’Tis the season to enjoy the fresh air! If you love a good workout, register for the annual Mount Dora 5K (just a little over 3 miles), and feel great while you help support Mount Dora High School and Run 4 a Cause. This festive and scenic run starting at Elizabeth Evans Park will surely put you in the holiday spirit. Plus, a post-run celebration with drinks on your lanai is always a good idea!
December 19-20: Christmas at the Market
There’s no better feeling than finding the perfect gift for a loved one. (Or even something special for yourself!) If you have some last-minute holiday shopping to do, look no further than the Holiday Market at Renninger’s Antique Center, where you’re sure to find that special something. Enjoy complimentary treats while you browse unique antiques and handmade items!
December 20: Mount Dora Half Marathon
If you’re a more seasoned runner, tackle the half marathon! You’ll wind through the most beautiful parts of town, with water, Gatorade, and bathrooms available along the way. Whether you’re going for a new personal record or you’re participating in your first half marathon ever, you’ll have so much fun joining in on the festivities with your community and conquering your fitness goals.
December 31: Mount Dora New Year’s Eve Celebration
It’s finally time to welcome 2021! Ring in the new year at Sunset Park starting at 9 PM, with live entertainment, delicious food, drinks, and of course, fireworks at midnight. Bring your best friends for a fun night out or enjoy a special evening with your grandkids. There’s nothing better than saying cheers to a new year and new beginnings with your loved ones!
