The Lake Wales Woman’s Club is planning to host its 3rd Annual Plant and Garden Festival this October, with the Lake Wales City Commission reviewing a special permit for the upcoming event.
At their workshop meeting on Wed. May 28, 2025, Lake Wales city commissioners reviewed a special event permit application submitted by the Lake Wales Woman’s Club.
The application was for a special permit to host a plant and garden festival event in October at their building, located at 275 E Park Ave., Lake Wales.
The request was to have portions of Cypress Garden Lane and Park Avenue closed during the event, which is planned to be scheduled between 9 AM to 3 PM on Oct. 18 and 9 AM to 1 PM on Oct. 19.
Specifically, the request is for the temporary closure of Cypress Garden Lane between the entrances to the parking area.
For the past three years, the Lake Wales Woman’s Club has hosted its annual plant and garden festival to sell a diverse selection of plants, yard art, and garden accessories. The event is free to the public.

Lake Wales city commissioners will vote upon the special event permit, along with the rest of their consent agenda, at their next regular meeting, scheduled for Tues. June 3 at 6 PM Lake Wales City Hall.
