Event Details
Did you know that tea and oranges have been cultivated right here in Central Florida for hundreds of years? Oranges were brought over on Spanish ships in the 1500s, and Florida’s early people cultivated a homegrown “tea” for centuries before that. Join us as we celebrate the 175th anniversary of the day Orange County dropped its pesky name – Mosquito County. We’ll sip locally grown tea, eat citrus-inspired treats, and enjoy lots of fun activities for families.
