In the heart of Central Florida, Downtown Lakeland is a vibrant, bustling little “mecca of cool.” Downtown Lakeland is a charming district noted for its vibrant street art and tiny lakes, such as Lake Mirror, which has a concrete promenade and a botanical garden close to it. There are fancy steakhouses and Southern restaurants nearby, as well as trendy cocktail bars and low-key pubs, some with live music. The RP Funding Center, which also serves as a venue for concerts and plays, is home to professional soccer and basketball teams. Every day, over 7,000 people work in Downtown Lakeland. After work, many people stay downtown to eat, shop, and play. Over 40 restaurants and bars, 20 retail businesses, 7 hairdressers and spas, and a few additional venues to get healthy, have fun, and dance the night away can be found in downtown Lakeland. Stay or live in The Terrace Hotel, Lake Morton Tower and NoBay apartments, and Lakeland Loft condominiums whether you’re here for a few days or years. Downtown Lakeland is a destination as well as a site. Every First Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the streets shut to welcome over 5,000 guests Downtown for a Classy Car Show, a Makers Market, and exhibitors offering freebies and family-friendly activities. Four blocks of North Kentucky Avenue are blocked every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the Downtown Farmers Curb Market, which features local farmers and craftspeople. On Lake Morton, feed the swans. Hollis Garden, with over 10,000 flowers, a fountain, and a beautiful view of Lake Mirror, is a great place to meditate. Alternatively, take a selfie with the public art along the Lemon Street promenade. Munn Park, Hollis Garden, the Lemon Street Promenade, Lake Morton, Florida Southern College, the Frances Langford Promenade at Lake Mirror, and Barnett Family Park are just a few of the many unique sites and outdoor areas in the Downtown footprint. There are around 40 restaurants and bars to choose from. Sushi, barbecue, a hot dog, or a sports bar are all good options. Participate in a yoga or dancing class. Invest in men’s clothing, urban wear, fair-trade items, or antiques. Make an appointment for a haircut or a facial. Try to break out of not one, but two different escape rooms.
