DOWNTOWN MOUNT DORA'S HOLIDAY HOURS

If you want to shop and dine local during the holidays, here’s a little help.  Mount Dora Merchants Association helped Mount Dora Buzz compile this list of holiday hours of some of your favorite indie shops and restaurants.  

Most shops close at 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. However a handful are open until 5 or 6 p.m.  New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day most downtown eateries are open, but their hours vary and most close well before the clock strikes 12 on New Year's Eve.
