Longwood Entertainment & Recreation
Longwood lies in central Florida, and is close enough to Orlando for residents to be within a short drive of all the amusements but far enough away not to be subjected to the disruption of tourism. It’s also close enough to the eastern seaboard that beach activities are popular in Longwood, and a relaxing day at the beach is one of the residents’ many favorite pastimes.
Each neighborhood in Longwood has its share of amenities and activities that are reserved for the residents, and there are also lots of opportunities in neighboring areas as well. Longwood bike trails, for example, go between areas and connect many of the neighborhoods. There is also lots of kayaking and canoeing, as well as other boating and water sports. If you like the arts, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra performs nearby on a regular basis, and Orlando is also home to high quality Opera and musical stage performance productions.
Longwood Arts
Longwood has it’s own arts and crafts festival, but there are also other suburbs of Orlando that offer them throughout the year as well. If you miss Longwood’s you can catch the Leesburg Arts Festival, a juried show that draws 140 of the world’s renowned artist for a prize of $3,000.
The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra offers more than 115 concerts and performances per year, so there is a great chance you’ll be able to catch several of them. They have drawn the services of some of the world’s best musicians as members and still others as solo feature performers. This season was the 14th anniversary of this fine organization. This year they will again perform in The Springs community for "The Springs Concert 2007: From Sea to Shining Sea.”
