Winter Springs, FL:  EVENTS & FESTIVALS

The Winters Springs Town Center and the adjacent Central Winds Park play host to a number of festivals and events throughout the year. Perhaps the most popular and unique event is the Scottish Highland Games that take place in January each year. The games take place over a weekend and offer patrons a taste of Scotland with athletic competitions such as the hammer throw, Highland dance and band performances, and Scottish food and whisky tastings. 

Each year Winter Springs puts on a 4th of July fireworks display and evening activities including a kids’ bounce house and a sock hop.  In October, the Winter Springs Festival of the Arts is becoming an annual event that attracts fine art lovers to the area.  The festival acts as a venue and competition for artists from all over Florida representing a variety of mediums including painting, sculpting, fine crafts, music and dance.  Residents and visitors enjoy the weekly farmers’ market that takes place on Saturdays at the town center.
