Who doesn’t love the monthly downtown party we know and love as FirstFriday? November was no exception. The theme for the night was dancing under the stars and it was a tribute to our active military. Oh how blessed we are for their efforts.
As usual, the Focus Group Florida team was adorned in purple and set up our booth at the corner of Munn Park by Harry’s restaurant. It’s November so it made sense that our friends at Pro-Spect inspection services helped create a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner mega pack to give away on the night.
Melissa Burton was our lucky winner this month and she couldn’t be more pleased that her Thanksgiving dinner is almost completely catered for.
If you don’t know about first Friday, it happens every month in downtown Lakeland, generally located along Kentucky Avenue and Tennessee Avenue. The streets are closed off so that the public pedestrians can wander around freely down the vendor lined streets during the event.
Many individuals and families come down between 6 and 9 PM, enjoy some dinner at a local eatery, poke around the various vendors who are promoting their businesses. Vendors are usually selling specialty merchandise and handmade crafts, and you will also find some delicious handheld foods.
If you don’t already follow LDDA (the Lakeland Downtown District Authority) , definitely look them up online, on Facebook and on Instagram - you don’t want to miss out on future events.
