SO MUCH MORE!
Sun, Sand and
R
enowned for its Speedway, colourful
history, world-class cultural ameni-
ties and numerous year-round golf
courses, Daytona Beach is gearing up for a non-
stop slate of great festivals.
Blessed with 37 kilometres of hard-
packed beaches, Daytona Beach's famous
Boardwalk is lined with amusement and
funky shops while the historic downtown
also offers a bounty of special boutiques
and restaurants.
Excitement continues to unfold. The area
recently became a hotbed of innovative
craft-beer brewers; follow the Daytona Beach
Ale Trail to experience them. A new Tanger
Outlets Mall is scheduled to open in
November. And the Cici and Hyatt Brown
Museum of Art—with its largest repository
of Florida art in the world—recently opened.
This winter and spring, the event cal-
endar overflows. The Holiday Season kicks
off November 24–27 with the much-antici-
pated Turkey Run, showcasing thousands
of classic cars. Then, from December 1–4,
the Ferrari World Finals takes place here for
the first time in America. On December 8,
the Smithsonian-affiliated Museum of Arts
& Sciences stages its Roaring 20s Flapper
event while the Ponce de Leon Inlet Light-
house, Florida's tallest, holds its "Climb to
the Moon" event on December 13. And the
Stetson Mansion—built by the man who
gave us the Stetson hat and open year-
round—hosts Christmas Spectacular Tours
through January 15.
Relax on Daytona Beach's white sandy beaches
during its festival season.
