MIDFLORIDA Mayfaire by-the-Lake Volunteer Opportunities

Many volunteer opportunities exist at MIDFLORIDA Mayfaire by-the-Lake which is held every Mother's Day Weekend on the shores of Lake Morton in Downtown Lakeland.

The Children's Art Tent offers a variety of hands-on art activities for children of all ages. Volunteers, working in two-hour shifts, assist the children with the activities. Shifts begin at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday and end at 4:00p.m. On Sunday the Art Tent opens at noon and closes at 4:00 p.m. This is an excellent opportunity for high school students to earn Community Service hours.
