Another signature Lakeland event is on the horizon, and it's a BIG one! May 10th & 11th, on the shores of Lake Morton, between 10 am - 5 pm will mark 2008's version of Mayfaire. No tickets are necessary & there will be a hospitality tent at Sorosis Building with desserts, fruit, & beverages.
Considered Polk County's largest cultural & artistic event, Mayfaire by the Lake is where artists exhibit their original works of art along the shores of Lake Morton and on the streets opposite the lake which creates more of an open "art market" feel. It also helps visitors to view and enjoy the exhibition of fine arts and crafts within a shorter, shadier, walking area. In addition to nearly 200 artists displaying original works of art, food and drink and a full entertainment schedule are offered on both days. The Children's Art Tent is one of the most popular parts of the show, hosting a wide variety of activities. In addition, the annual Mayfaire Festival of Arts & Athletes is held on Saturday night. The Festival kicks off with the Mayfaire Classic 5k foot race around beautiful Lake Mirror, and continues into the evening with live music, dancing, food, and children's activities. Check out the views and surroundings of beautiful Lake Mirror.
Begun in 1974 as a small crafts fair on the lawn of the Lakeland Public Library, Mayfaire by-the-Lake has grown into one of Florida's premier outdoor Art events. The art festival is presented by the Polk Museum of Art. It's also within walking distance of historic downtown Lakeland!

A classic car show is held on Tennessee Avenue. Every month features new & fresh feature events, so be sure to mark every First Friday on your calendar.
Also on the agenda is the Spring Art Festival that will be held in conjunction with the Downtown Farmers Curb Market this Saturday. The market is located on the corner of Pine Street & Tennessee Avenue.

It looks like a new signature Lakeland event has been born. Friday the 25th of April will mark the inaugural Lakeland Derby! What is the The Lakeland Derby? Well, simply put it's a race. You may think that a "derby" held a week prior to the prestigious Kentucky Derby must involve horses. You would be wrong! This race involves our adopted mascot, the elegant Lakeland swan. Ten "hand-crafted swans" will race along the waters of Lake Mirror. The proceeds will support Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine, a local charity that provides free primary health care to the working uninsured Lakeland residents.
Other events scheduled are:
4:30 PM Davenport School of the Arts Pan-A-Maniac Steel Drum Band
5:00 PM Running of the Ducks
6:00 PM Parade to the Post
6:30 PM The Lakeland Derby
7:20 PM Harrison School of the Arts
9:00 PM Fireworks
See you there!

Meet The Group: Gate Arty
I have been a resident of Lakeland since childhood, & I am still very proud to call this quaint town, "home." Originally born in Bangkok, Thailand, my family & I immigrated to the United States in 1978. I graduated Lake Gibson High School in 1992. Go Braves!
Growing up an avid sports fan, I enjoy basketball, tennis & especially football. You'll find me watching the Miami Dolphins game every weekend, willing them to a hopeful victory & with any luck, an eventual Super Bowl Championship.
I went on to complete my studies at the University of South Florida in Tampa, where I resided for a short time, earning a BS in Business Administration - Finance. Go Bulls! Ultimately finding my way back home to Lakeland, I now enjoy an exciting career in real estate where I can help friends with their real estate needs & meet new people everyday.
I believe that cultivating true relationships & forming strong bonds is critical to happiness and success in business and in life. If you would like to talk about real estate, & require an individual that is passionate about what they do, I believe I can be your real estate advisor.
As long-standing industry professionals, our goal is ultimate client satisfaction. We strive to build lasting relationships and bonds that will endure beyond a singular transaction. It's always rewarding to learn how you helped someone, and all of us at Gate Arty & the Group believe in setting a new standard for honesty and integrity in real estate. With that said, we present to you the unembellished words of past clients who have given us their feedback.
Below are comments from families that have utilized our services. These are real people who were in a position of buying and selling a home and trusted Gate Arty & the Group to handle their transaction.
"Gate is especially professional.."
I purchase distressed properties, remodel them, and eventually sell. Gate Arty has been a great part of my success. He responds quickly to all of my questions, and has always been on the mark with his advice. Gate listens to my needs & follows thru. He really hustles and maneuvers to make things work. I have purchased many properties thru Gate Arty & the Group and all have been winners. Gate is especially professional, and I highly recommend his services.

"He went off of "nothing," ...turned it into something!"
Gate sold our house so quickly! We had no idea of what we really wanted in our next home, but Gate was able to find exactly what we needed and after a few short weeks, we moved into our new dream home. He went off of "nothing," and after listening to our needs, turned it into something! We truly appreciate his hard work & dedication.
- Justin & Heather Sparks
"within a couple of months the home was sold"
Our home had been on the market for over one year and it was right in the beginning of the slow season for selling. Gate Arty came in and took over the job, and with in a couple of months the home was sold and we were able to move on. We are thankful for Gate Arty & the Group, and we have recommended their services to anyone who needs a good caring agency. Thank you again!
