Join Downtown Lakeland for a �Picnic in the Park: Valentine’s Edition� on Sunday, February 14th from 11am-7pm BY RESERVATION ONLY.

Munn Park will be transformed into a charming picnic spot with decorated tables, chairs, and tents for couples and/or families (up to 6 per party/per tent) to reserve for a takeout picnic meal.��See below for details, as well as the reservation process. No walk-ups allowed.

Just Dance Academy will provide mini dance lessons every hour in the center of the park.�Prepare to coerce your Valentine-or �Galentine�-onto the dance floor.

Grab a delicious �love potion� (or two) from the Just Cares, Inc. tent.�They will have red and white sangria, as well as some refreshing non-alcoholic beverages and festive pink popcorn.

What’s the cost?� Well, it’s actually a trade. Our goal for this activity is to support local Downtown businesses so there are some requirements for participation to accomplish that goal. The LDDA will provide a tent, table, chairs, tablecloths, a centerpiece, and other decorations.�You can also purchase festive table settings in advance for $3 per person. The set includes a pink plastic cup, dinner plate, dessert plate, utensils, and napkin.�LDDA staff will sanitize the table and chairs and change the tablecloths between each party and maintain proper sanitation in the park.

The picnic experience is essentially free, but you can only participate by purchasing your picnic meal from a DOWNTOWN restaurant�AND�purchasing a $25 dollar gift card to a Downtown RETAILER. The gift card will make a great gift or you can use it for yourself at a later date. (See pages 8 and 9 of the�Visitor’s Guide�for a list of retail merchants to choose from.) Any add-on purchases – beverages, popcorn or tables settings are an additional cost.
