Want to raise some money?  Tap Mount Dora’s artists’ community.  

That was the idea when Artisans on Fifth decided to join the fight against breast cancer. The local artists’ co-op is the organizer of“Bra-Vo,” a fundraiser for no- or low-cost diagnostic testing and treatment for breast cancer in Lake County. 

Fast forward four years and Bra-Vo has turned into an event which, thanks to its small army of inspired artists and passionate patrons, has raised over $24,000 for the cause.  

Bra-Vo is once again calling for artists of all levels...Read more. ​

The first time was a gigantic success.  Last year's inaugural Mount Dora Seafood Festival was a runaway hit with an estimated 15,000 visitors. This year's event is loaded with twice as many food vendors and a boatload of entertainment. 

This weekend's free lakefront festival at Evans Park now boasts crafters, live music, and pirates—yes, pirates.  They'll be found at a Pirate Village and a pirate-themed kids’ zone with two free bounce houses  To accommodate the growth, the festival will extend throughout Edgerton Court and Lakeside Inn in addition to waterfront Evans Park.

Last year seafood lovers found room in their stomachs for fresh conch fritters, lobster and crab legs when they’d already scarfed down cajun crawfish, paella, shrimp and fresh fish tacos.  This weekend promises to bring the same, plus a lot more.   Foodies that want to indulge in lots of seafood tasting can take a "Landlubber Tour" on Saturday with stops at seven Mount Dora restaurants offering samples of their seafood dishes and lively libations.  The self-guided tours go 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and tickets are $38.

The festival's free entertainment includes: local favorite TNT; a Beach Boys tribute "Surf Party" featuring the Shindigs on Saturday at 5 p.m.; and The Original Wailers headlining at 7 p.m.  Steel drums will be played throughout the day.

Lakeside Inn will an added entertainment venue featuring a live music stage and Aqua Bubbles, where kids can 'walk on water' in large plastic bubbles for a small fee.

To help meet the challenges of downtown parking, shuttles will be provided at Mount Dora High School and Mount Dora Christian Academy to the festival.  Shuttles this weekend's (August 27 and 28) festival run on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

A summertime fling for jazz and art enthusiasts, Starry Night, will bring together live
entertainment and nationally-known and emerging artists in a benefit for We Care of Lake County.

Live performers will include the “Nightly Groove” band, guitarist Keegan Neverett and pianist Michael McKelvy.  

Art lovers can observe local, award-winning artist, Jane Slivka, as she paints one of her Caribbean-inspired acrylic canvases and chats with guests.   Artwork, including Slivka's,  will be auctioned throughout the evening.

Along with the art and entertainment, the August 26 event at Tavares Pavilion will also feature ample hors d’oeuvres and libations on the waterfront setting.

We Care of Lake County helps uninsured people who meet financial guidelines to get well and move on with their lives. With the help of nearly 100 volunteer specialty physicians and the support of local hospitals and medical facilities, the group has succeeded in helping patients overcome serious illnesses through treatment, procedures and surgeries.
The non-profit's newest project, We Care We Share, recycles used medical equipment, giving away over 500 pieces of necessary equipment to hundreds of Lake County residents in just the last six months. Hospital beds, walkers, shower chairs, and other equipment are available at no charge to people in need.

Tickets for  “Starry Night for Art & Jazz” are on sale now, $50/single; $75/couple.  Call We Care of Lake County (352-742-0021 ext. 11)
