A Long Weekend in Lakeland May 22–25, 2026 | Lakeland + Central Florida
A relaxed Memorial Day weekend hangout built around good conversation, local favorites, outdoor walks, beach sunset vibes, Disney Springs wandering, and fellowship. This is flexible — come and go as you please!
If you’re coming in from out of town, Lakeland is between Tampa and Orlando.
✨ Tentative Schedule Highlights:
FRIDAY
• Dinner at a local food hall
• Sunset walk downtown
• Ice cream
SATURDAY
• Morning coffee meetup (with optional famous local baked goods)
• Walk around local park
• Lunch + afternoon recharge break time (hang at a coffee shop if you like)
• Evening beach trip for sunset and picnic-style dinner
SUNDAY
• Church in Lakeland for those who are interested
• Lunch and relaxed early afternoon options, opportunity for a break/free time
• Evening trip to Disney Springs and free boat ride for Mickey beignets
MONDAY
• Brunch + downtown Lakeland wandering
• Coffee shops, bookstores, antiques, local spots
• Wrap up by mid-afternoon
A few notes:
• Activities are optional — come for part of the weekend or all of it!
• Some meal locations may shift depending on group size.
• Florida in late May is HOT, so expect casual clothes, walking, and lots of water breaks.
• Fort Desoto dinner is bring-your-own style (chair/blanket encouraged).
• Out-of-town guests are responsible for their own lodging/transportation, but we can help coordinate carpools and recommend areas to stay. I can also make flight/airport recommendations.
ASK FOR THE DETAILED ITINERARY IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT. Happy to share. Group chat will be created soon.
This weekend is mostly about relaxing, community, conversation, and exploring. Whether you’re local or flying in, you’re welcome.
