Mount Dora will come alive with over 2 million lights on Saturday, November 30, during the 38th annual Light Up Mount Dora.  
​
Workers with Mount Dora Marina, the City of Mount Dora, and local businesses have been stringing up the lights in the city since mid-October.  The combined efforts of these groups have turned the Central Florida town into an increasingly well-known Christmas destination. Mount Dora Marina alone has over a million lights and is reportedly the largest privately-owned light display in Central Florida.  (see video)

Light Up Mount Dora will feature pre-ceremony shows in downtown Donnelly Park with dancers, traditional Christmas carols and much more.  Residents and visitors are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and blankets to the park.
