Things to do in Florida December 31, 2014 - January 1, 2015

Here's the New Year's list of things to do in Florida December 31, 2014 - January 1, 2015. Whether your thing is "Swingin' the New Year" in St. Pete or watching the fireworks down in Key Largo, there's an event for you and even some for the entire family. Florida's theme parks are also planning a big to do - like the New Year's Celebration at Busch Gardens included with the price of admission to the park. Also while searching for things to do in Florida December 31, 2014 - January 1, 2015 many of Florida's state parks are participating in "First Day Hikes" to get your new year started on the right foot. Just click on the link to find a park in your area. If 2014 is any indication, 2015 should be quite a doozy so let's say goodbye to the old and buckle up for the new. This list will hopefully help you do that in a way that's just your style. Thanks for stopping by Florahome USA and hope you find some things to do in Florida December 31, 2014 - January 1, 2015. Y'all have a Happy One!

Other things to do in Florida, December 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 2014 represent just a small but faithful sample of a host of churches all over the state celebrating the birth of the King of Kings.

Things to do in Florida December 12, 13, 14, 2014

More great Christmas things to do in Florida December 12, 13, 14, 2014 with at least a couple just up the road from Florahome. Check out the Merry Melrose Christmas Parade along with The Annual Melrose Arts & Crafts Festival this coming Saturday, Dec 13th. Then get ready the night of the 13th when the Christmas in the Park Christmas Parade over in Keystone Heights celebrates the birth of our Lord. Other Christmas things to do in Florida December 12, 13, 14, 2014 are a little farther away - like the Christmas Boat Parade of Lights in Panama City Beach or what about the Winterfest Boat Parade along the Intracoastal Waterway from Ft. Lauderdale to Pompano Beach. This is Florida by the way and we do not consider Christmas complete without a prper boat parade. Lastly but not leastly, Christmas in Florida would be sloppy without The Sopchoppy Opry. Enjoy A Classic Country Christmas December 14th or take in the entire celebration Dec 13th with Christmas in Sopchoppy! Make it one of YOUR things to do in Florida December 12, 13, 14, 2014. Nobody does Christmas like Sopchoppy!

Things to do in Florida December 5, 6, 7, 2014

Christmas is huge on this list of things to do in Florida December 5, 6, 7, 2014. For those of you dreaming of a white Christmas,... well this IS Florida so you can either keep on dreaming or you can take in the Athens Theatre Company production of that 1954 film classic opening December 5th in Deland, FL. Not too far from Florahome, check out the 60th Annual St. Augustine Christmas Parade or farther south it's the 26th Annual Fort Myers Beach Christmas Boat Parade! Other things to do in Florida December 5, 6, 7, 2014 depict what Christmas was like in the state long ago. At Dade Battlefield Historic State Park in Bushnell you can explore Christmas on the Florida Frontier or visit Silver Springs State Park where they will be offering a look at "A Cracker Christmas" December 6th in Marion County. Finally, Christmas did not begin with Black Friday but with that moment when HE appear'd and the soul felt its worth. On December 5 and 6 you can celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior in Parrish, FL as Parrish United Methodist Church presents The Living Nativity. Also in Leesburg just a day past the 7th according to their calendar, the Morrison United Methodist Church will tell the greatest story in The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. Hope you'll make these or any of the Happy Holiday events listed below one of YOUR things to do in Florida December 5, 6, 7, 2014.

Things to do in Florida November 28, 29, 30, 2014

If you're looking for things to do in Florida November 28, 29, 30, 2014 you may see some familiar faces this coming weekend. Remember those creative kids in preschool who could make the teacher light up with nothing more than a crayon? Well they're back and dazzling us once again with their big box of Crayolas. Not far from Florahome you'll find the 49th Annual St. Augustine Fine Art and Craft Festival offering everything from jewelry to mixed media. Even at the beach, it's clear the creative mind can turn even sand into a masterpiece. The 28th Annual American Sand Sculpting Championships at Fort Myers Beach ends November 30th so don't miss it. Included in the list this week are one or two things to do in Florida even before November 28, 29, 30, 2014. As advertised, the Fish Hawk Turkey Trot is scheduled for the 27th and the 41st Annual Turkey Run, runs November 27 - 30. Turkeys are best advised to run this time of year. Lastly, tis the season to be Jolly and the jolly old man himself will be making appearances in Panama City Beach, Destin, and quite a few other locations around the state so chances are you will spot Santa at one of the listed things to do in Florida November 28, 29, 30, 2014. He's got a list of his own. Y'all be good.
