The holidays are a great time to discover all that South Lake County has to offer. The weather is cooler, the spirits are high, and there's no shortage of things to do! Here are a few things to look for in the Clermont area and beyond.

Light Up Clermont

Light Up Clermont is the signature event in Clermont, taking place the first weekend in December...or this year, November 30th and December 1st.
