Cooler weather doesn’t have to mean snuggling up with a warm mug by the fire or staying inside (although there’s nothing wrong with that).
There’s still plenty of time to enjoy fun outdoor events without driving into too far or spending an arm and a leg. Here’s a look at some of the most exciting upcoming fall events happening in (and around) Clermont this year!
Clermont Harvest Festival
Saturday – October 26th, 2019 from 10am to 6pm.
This event features over 150 vendors and food trucks so you can shop artisan gifts and snack on a variety of food. Let the kids run wild in the Kid’s Zone, which will have train rides, a bounce house, face painting and more!
4pm is the start of the costume contest so make sure to dress your kids up in their spookiest outfits for a chance at the winning prizes.
Dress up in your most frightful outfit and show it off during the Nightmare on the Clermont Trails 5K run! The walk/run starts at Victory Pointe, continues on the South Lake Trail with a loop through the Lake Hiawatha Preserve and finishes up at Suncreek Brewery.
Contest categories include:
Top three overall
Top masters
Best three in each division, male and female
Special costume awards for most original, crowd favorite, best team costume, scariest, and best witch
Join The River Clermont for a family friendly Halloween event for FREE carnival games, candy, popcorn and more. The Lake County Sheriff’s Department and Clermont Fire Department are co-sponsoring this event.
Make sure to stop by the dunk tank for your chance to drop a sheriff into a pool of water. And don’t forget to check out the Lake County Sheriff’s Department SWAT truck and ask any questions you or the kids might have.
Join the Clermont Downtown Partnership for a fun-filled event featuring over 75 holiday vendors. There, you can pick up early Christmas gifts or a handcrafted souvenir for yourself. This event is family friendly and includes pictures with Santa, trolley rides, candy cane races and more.
As always, Downtown Clermont hosts their weekly Farmer’s Market every Sunday from 9am to 1pm. Stop by for some fresh produce, seafood and bread. Once there, you can also browse the specialty vendors, crafts and other artisan items before grabbing a bite from the many food trucks and enjoy the sights.
On the first Friday of each month, Clermont also hosts the First Friday Food Truck event where you can browse different eateries and taste a variety of cuisines. This event is perfect for groups as each person can order what they want before joining everyone at the same table!
