Celebrate Orange County’s Beginnings

It’s Orange County’s Septaquintaquinquecentennial! Who knew? Join us in celebrating the day 175 years ago that changed Central Florida forever – when Mosquito County dropped the name of a pesky insect and turned Orange. Admission is free for this event.

We’ll celebrate our county’s rich heritage, as we sip Florida’s homegrown yaupon “tea,” munch citrus-inspired treats, and enjoy fun activities for families.

• Enjoy Florida folk music performed by Colton and Rachel McCormick
• Learn about native plants from experts at Orlando’s Leu Gardens.
• Sample homegrown brews from Yaupon Brothers American Tea Co.
• Discover other Central Florida historic sites and museums, including
  – The Holocaust Center in Maitland (demonstrating VR headsets about Anne Frank’s house)
  – Zellwood Historical Museum
  – Museum of Seminole County History
  – Lake Mary Museum
• Plus, gather useful information about Orange County’s services and resources, including
  – Parks & Recreation
  – Orange County Library System
  – Mosquito Control
  – Utilities
