Stay Cool at Mayfaire by-the-Lake: Your Guide to Beating the Florida Heat

---

Lakeland’s Mayfaire by-the-Lake is one of the biggest art events of the year, bringing creativity, culture, and community together on the shores of Lake Morton. But let’s be honest—Florida’s spring heat can be just as intense as the artwork on display! Whether you're planning to browse booths, discover local artists, or just soak in the festival vibes, staying cool is key. Here are fun and easy ways to beat the heat while enjoying one of Lakeland’s most beloved traditions!

1. Dress for the Occasion 🎨☀️

Mayfaire is all about embracing art, but your outfit needs to embrace the weather, too. Go for lightweight, breathable fabrics and grab a wide-brim hat to keep the sun at bay. Bonus points if your hat adds a little artsy flair to your look!

2. Hydration Stations Are Your Best Friend 💦

Florida heat + hours of walking = serious need for water breaks. Luckily, there are plenty of spots downtown to grab a cold drink, from local cafés to vendor stands. Keep a refillable bottle handy, so you can sip on the go while browsing all the incredible artwork.

3. Find the Coolest Hidden Gems 🖼️❄️

Need a break? Step inside one of Lakeland’s nearby galleries, shops, or museums for an air-conditioned art escape. It’s the perfect excuse to check out local businesses without melting in the sun.

4. Timing Is Everything ⏰

Early birds get cooler mornings, so if you’re not a fan of peak heat, arrive early to enjoy the exhibits before the temperature climbs. Late afternoons also bring shade and a breeze, making for an ideal golden-hour stroll through the festival.

5. Cooling Essentials = Game Changer ❄️

A portable fan, cooling towel, or misting spray is your best friend for outdoor festivals like Mayfaire. If you're packing a bag, throw in a cold towel from home—trust us, you’ll thank yourself later!

6. Support Local & Cool Off While You Shop 🛍️

Many downtown businesses offer air-conditioned spaces where you can cool down, grab a snack, and support Lakeland’s local scene. Whether it’s a quick coffee break or checking out a new boutique, it’s a win-win for comfort and community!
