Groveland
West on 50 / south on 27 — Lake David is the gathering spot.
Groveland’s regular night out is the 2nd Friday Block Party at Lake David Park — food trucks, music, a market, and a kid zone, 5 to 9 p.m. on S. Lake Ave. October is the exception: the city is folding it into Trunk or Treat at the end of the month. Cherry Lake Park, South Lake Regional Park, and the Van Fleet Trail cover the outdoor side the rest of the time.
