It’s that time of year again!
Hi, friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.
I’m not one to typically look forward to St. Patrick’s Day but this year, I’m excited about it 🤭 And I will be sure to share with you all next week what I’m up to, but just know it’s going to be very cool (and ICONIC).
St. Patrick’s Day falls during spring break for most Central Florida students (lucky!), so we’ve got a ton going on this weekend into next week.
Here’s what’s happening ⤵️
Duh.
St. Patrick’s Day is on Monday, but that doesn’t mean the celebration isn’t starting beforehand.
There are festivals, live entertainment and more taking over Central Florida leading up to the day itself.

Beer and dogs, what more can you ask for? 🐕
The 36th annual Bark Brew Fest is this Saturday in Cocoa Village.
Bring your furry companion and enjoy an outdoor beer garden, raffle baskets and more all while benefitting Mid Florida Sheltie Rescue, a nonprofit that helps Shetland Sheepdogs.
Man, I wish I were still in school to enjoy a nice spring break 😎.
Most Central Florida students will be enjoying their spring break soon (jealous), and we put together some events or activities to check out during the break!
From concerts to food, shows to the zoo, there’s something for everyone.
