Silver Moon Drive In Theater – Lakeland Florida

Silver Moon Drive In Theater – Lakeland Florida

Looking for something fun things to do this weekend on a budget in Lakeland Florida? Why not go see a movie? Some would say absolutely not because the cost to go see a movie in a regular theater is at an all time high and if you want anything to drink or to snack on. However, a fantastic option is the Silver Moon Drive In Theater in Lakeland FL. If you have never had the experience of going to a drive in theater you are in for a treat.

One of the great things about Silver Moon Drive In Theater is the cost. One dollar for kids ages four to nine and four dollars for all those ages ten and over. The tickets are for entry into the theater and there is a double feature on both screens sometimes a triple if you really want to enjoy a late night out. Most of the movies The Silver Moon shows are newer releases while also playing some of the classics. There are two different screens to choose from and each screen has a different movie. Movie goers can choose to either use their own car radio to tune into the movies or chose to use the in car speakers the theater offers for your convenience. They also offer great concessions including the favorites of pizza, popcorn, and candy.

Lakeland FL Silver Moon Drive In Theater first opened in April of 1948 and it was the first Drive in theater in Lakeland with admission costs of just 35 cents. However in May of 1950 a Tornado ruined much of the Silver Moon Theater and their screens. After just a few short months of being closed, the Silver Moon reopened with a new screen in July of 1950. In 1952 the Theater was sold and the new owner built the concession stand and the sign that still stands today. To see some of the pictures of the Silver Moon through the years stop by the concession stand when you go to see a movie with your family.

The Silver Moon is not just about watching movies they also have a flea market, “Swap Shop”, open on Saturday and Sunday free to the public and a vendor fee of 5 dollars on Saturday and 14 dollars on Sunday. Don’t forget to check their website either for some fun filled events happening throughout the year.

The theater is located on 4100 New Tampa Highway as you pass the big Publix birthday cake the Drive-In theater is located on the left side. You may also call them at (863) 682-0849. Lakeland is the place to be when you are looking for things to do.

Best Barbecue in Town - Lakeland FL Annual Pig Fest January 27-28, 2012

Best Barbecue in Town - Lakeland FL  Annual Pig Fest January 27-28, 2012

I can't imagine spending a better way than to attend this year's Lakeland's Annual Pig Fest on January 27 and 28, 2012. In it's 16th year for its barbecue competition, such as the Kansas City Barbecue Society sanctioned competition, Publix Supermarket Backyard BBQ competition, and for kids, Kids-Q barbecue contest, enticing professional barbecue teams to travel to our beautiful city .


This year gates open at 5:30pm on Friday, January 27, 2012 to enjoy an evening of music, food, and games. On Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 10:00 am is when the real competition begins. Competitors from all over the country will flock to Lakeland Florida to compete in four different categories including Ribs, Chicken, Pork, and Brisket. 


Friday’s entertainment at Center Stage is to include nightriders at 6:00 pm and Soul 2 Earth from 7:00 pm-10:00 pm. But don’t forget about the Backyard ‘Party Stage’ which will feature Cross Traxx and Vertical Circus. While Saturday Center Stage will include Pushin Eighties from 10:00 am- 1:15 pm followed by Brush Creek from 1:45 pm- 5:00 pm. And the Backyard ‘Party Stage’ will play host to The Sweeney Family Band, Madison Mckenzie, Cross Traxx, and Ace Jackson & The Jump Kings Performing throughout the day. LEGOLAND Florida will once again sponsor the Children’s corner and is said to include bounce houses and many other fun surprises.


There will also be a Kids-Q where children will compete on their own grills. The Kids-Q was started in 2004 when competitors came to the realization they did not want the art of Barbeque to disappear after they were no longer here so they have brought the kids into the mix by giving them a fun way to participate in the competition. And these kids are phenomenal cooks. Not to mention what a great family event! Read more about things to do with kids in and around Lakeland Florida.

 


A tad bit of history lesson! It started all in 1994 when a small group of local businessmen attended the Blue Ridge Mountain town of Tyron, N.C. to watch a barbecue championship. From then on, a festival committee was established and Lakeland’s Pig Festival welcomed its first barbecue competitors in 1997. Since then, professional teams and backyard teams travel great distances to compete separate in now five different categories in Ribs (loin and spare), Pork (shoulder and butt), Chicken, Brisket (beef) and Sauce. The Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS) Professional Competition and Judging School considers Lakeland’s Pig Fest to be one of the finest events sanctioned by KCBS.  Lakeland’s annual  Pig Fest held at Joker Marchant Stadium has since then grown to over 300 Barbecue Teams competing for prize money and attendance growing quickly each year.   


The Junior League of Greater Lakeland became in 2005 the lead organizer for this great event and they do an outstanding job providing volunteers to see that this free event is run smoothly. The Lakeland Pig Festival has contributed over $650,000 to local charities and growing.  The event in itself is free, such as the concerts – as you walk towards the gate, let me suggest you buy “Pig Dollars” near the entrance for food and drinks and also some for your kids, since I’m sure they want to take part in arts & crafts, climbing and jumping. Don’t worry if you run out of the “Pig Dollars or “Pig Bucks”, there are various locations throughout the area for you to buy more. 


It is a fun event for the whole family to enjoy.


Check out this video of year's past at the Lakeland FL Pig Fest!

Top Five Things To Do With Grandkids Around Lakeland Florida

Top Five Things To Do With Grandkids Around Lakeland Florida

Summer vacation, Spring break, Thanksgiving break, Winter break…. What do they all have in common? It is the time to spend with Grandkids! Whether your grandkids are young or on the verge of becoming adults, as grandparents we cannot wait to see those faces, which always brings a smile to our hearts. I’m always delighted to spend time with my grandkids when they come to visit us in Lakeland Florida. However, the dilemma I face is what can I do to entertain them. Sure we live in the Sunshine State and there is always Disney, Universal, and Busch Gardens however with a tight budget, trips out of town are not always attainable. So what is it we can do with our grandkids right here in Lakeland?

Here is my top five things to do with your grandkids around Lakeland Florida:

Common Ground

There are ample parks around Lakeland.Common Ground Park is located on Edgewood Drive and has received numerous praises for its innovative ideas. This park is a haven where children of all abilities can socialize and play right next to each other. It is a park where children who may not normally get to play in your average playground because of an unleveled or less than solid ground can move around the different obstacles without the worry of footing.

 

Sunflower PlaygroundWe have Barnett Park, which is situated next to the beautiful Lake Mirror. With its great central location in Lakeland it is easily and quickly accessible to people from all parts of town. Lakeland has essentially in one area three different parks including a small water park to enjoy during those hot summer days. There is an area for older kids to climb and swing. The third area for preschoolers is called Sunflower Preschool Park. A Playground modeled off of Common Ground Park. It is geared toward the 2-5 year old age range. It was developed after parents realized the toys at Barnett Park were geared more toward their older kids, which left the little ones with nothing to truly entertain themselves.

Downtown Lakeland is always a fun

place to go especially during First Fridays. For the little ones stop by Explorations V museum, a great educational but fun place for kids to learn about different things going on in our area. First Fridays is even a great activity for the older grandchildren since there are plenty of activities going on to entertain a wide range of people. Between great foods, live musicians, and Ice Cream what’s not to love.

 

 

New to the Lakeland Florida area is Legoland Florida. Legoland is situated in the same location of Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven, FL. I was saddened to hear that Cypress Garden’s which had become a staple to the Central Florida region was closing.  It didn’t come as a surprise when our economy took a turn for the worse and so many large theme parks within a 60 mile radius drive. However when hearing Legoland Florida was now going to occupy this same location I was excited because it meant a whole new realm of possibilities. Legoland even held onto some of the charm of the former Cypress Gardens with a ski show, historical botanical gardens, and Lego Southern Belles. And coming Summer 2012 is the Legoland Waterpark.

 

When it is a teenager needing to be entertained there is the ample options of shopping and movies at the Lakeside Village. Lakeside Village features many places to shop for people of all ages. Know of a movie coming out which your teenage grandchildren maybe interested in why not try a midnight showing! Show those kids that even though we like to go to bed early and get up early doesn’t mean that every once in a while we can’t stay up late and enjoy a nice night out on the town with them.

While Lakeland Florida is a great place to retire due to our warm winters and suburban towns centrally located to larger cities, there are still plenty of activities to entertain our grandchildren when they come to visit us here in Lakeland.

2011 Lakeland FL Christmas Parade - "All I Want For Christmas"

2011 Lakeland FL Christmas Parade - "All I Want For Christmas"

 
 
All I want for Christmas is ....... not sure yet, what about you as we are in the Holiday Season?
 
Lake Morton Holiday Lights - Lakeland FLA great way for Lakeland Florida is to get you in the Holiday Spirit is for the Junior League of Greater Lakeland to host its 31st Annual Lakeland Christmas Parade on Thursday, December 1, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. The theme for the parade is "All I Want For Christmas" and it will start with a spectacular firework show over Lake Mirror.  The parade will start at the Lakeland Center through downtown Lakeland and around Lake Mirror.  It is always wonderful to see children's laughter and holiday cheer.

Over 100 floats and marching bands will be accompanying Santa Claus as he and Mrs. Claus make their way through downtown Lakeland.  It will be one of the largest Christmas Parades Lakeland has seen.  Get your place early as most of the folks will be downtown early to get the best seat.  My recommendation would be to take a half day off, get your family together go downtown before street closures and find you a good parking space, preferably in the parking garages.  Visit local restaurants and get something to eat, you can choose from pizza, subs, soup and salad, cajun or seafood - so many choices and if not there are local vendors placed near and around Lake Mirror. 

It is a great place to be on December 1st at 7:00 p.m. watching the 2011 Lakeland FL Christmas Parade.

All I want for Christmas is peace on earth, for our soldiers to return safely, health, for struggling folks to see the light at the end of the tunnel, for people to find jobs and for our economy to rebound.  Have a happy and great Holiday Season!
