First Friday in Lakeland Florida – Local Event “Sun ‘n Fun Skyward Festival” – April 2nd, 2010
With Lakeland’s Annual Sun ‘n Fun just around the corner, the folks of Downtown Lakeland Partnership and organizers of the Sun ‘n Fun came together in marriage for this First Friday’s event of “Sun ‘n Fun Skyward Festival” on April 2nd, 2010.
What a cool way to have an event, such as First Friday’s Sun ‘n Fun Skyward Festival filled with entertainment and excitement leading to Lakeland’s major event of the year “Annual Sun ‘n Fun Fly-In.
It all starts at 6:00 p.m. and to get everyone’s attention, a pre-fly teaser above Main Street. While Kentucky Avenue, Lemon Street to Bay Street is filled with activities, Tennessee Avenue is filled with a classic car show and live music. Speaking of live music, the USAF Rock Band is scheduled to perform at Munn Park. Hot air balloons will graze the northwest shore of Lake Mirror along Massachusetts Avenue. At sunset, the hot air balloons will glow and have a pyrotechnic air show in the skies of Downtown Lakeland.
With past few First Friday’s being cold, rained on and canceled; I’m sure this Lakeland’s First Friday event Sun ‘n Fun Skyward Festival” will be one to remember for many years to come. “The Sky is the Limit”. I sure would like to see in the coming years First Friday’s April theme will be “Sun n’ Fun Skyward Festival”
Bring your family and c’mon down to Downtown Lakeland and enjoy the activities beginning at 6pm through 9pm. Shops and restaurants are open ’til 9pm and later so be sure to come down for a bite to eat and take in some shopping and browsing. Many streets are closed to accommodate the activities, so plan to park in the ample parking available in the Bay Street lot, the Oak Street lot, the Main Street garage or on-street parking south of Lemon or north of Bay. Permit only lots are FREE parking for the public after 5pm, so take advantage of the permit only lots throughout Downtown Lakeland.
