Hey Lakeland, Kaylee here. Mid-March has always been kind of unpredictable in Central Florida– we have no idea whether it’s time to break out our shorts + flip flops, or if our comfy sweaters will get the chance to see a little more daylight. (I, for one, usually opt for the latter and end up sweating by lunchtime.)

But no matter what’s happening with the weather, the events this month are looking pretty hot. 🔥 I’m especially hyped to throw myself back into ‘90s with Lakeland’s first ever Punk Rock Flea Market on Sunday at Swan Brewing (1115 W Pine St) from 12-5 p.m. 🤘
