SHOW US YOUR HOLIDAYS. 🎄📸

We’re putting together A Very "Local" Christmas, and we want to see the holidays through your camera roll. Dig back through the last few years and send us your favorite photos taken any time from Light Up Winter Garden, Downtown Winter Garden, through New Year’s Day. The lights. The parades. The parties. The traditions. The matching pajamas. The kids meeting Santa. The beautifully decorated house. The family photo gone wrong. 😂

If it captures a little bit of what makes the holidays here feel like home, we want to see it.

Email [email protected] with your photos, a few sentences about what made about what made that holiday unforgettable and your contact information!

Some restaurants become favorites. Others start to feel like family. 🇮🇹❤️

Sixteen years after Chef Barbara Alfano first took a chance on Peperoncino, there’s plenty to celebrate. And this little locals’ restaurant has a few new things cooking, too.

See what else Barbara and Raul are celebrating 😉 https://bluetoad.com/publication/?i=869437&p=66&view=issueViewer

Well, this is one way to make us emotional. 🥹

We spent five years telling your stories. At our anniversary party, we turned the mic around and asked a few of you to tell us what The Local has meant to you.

Favorite stories. Favorite sections. A little love. And five very good years.

We’ll take it. ❤️

Today's agenda?

Sleep in. Stay for another cup of coffee. Float in the pool. Take a nap. Fire up the grill. Spend the day with people you like in a place you love.

Because tomorrow? We party. 🥂🎉

Happy Labor Day from The Local.

Things we thought we’d have figured out by 5:
How to say no to a good story.
How to stop adding “just one more page.”
How to meet someone interesting without immediately asking, “Can we write about you?”
How to leave an event without being the last ones there.
How to take a group photo where everyone likes the photo. 😂

Five years in. Still working on it.

This year marks five years of The Local telling the stories of Winter Garden. And as luck would have it, our friends at Viewpoint Design and Installation are celebrating five years too. So naturally, we’re throwing a party!

Join us September 8 at Pilars Martini & Loft as we celebrate five amazing years, raise a glass to the community that made it possible, and unveil our special anniversary issue.

Enjoy food, drinks, familiar faces, and new friends. Plus: Giveaways, a musical guest, and you can even dress it up a bit to walk our red carpet!

We’re closing out Best of the Best with the people who officially have the trophies to prove it. Congrats to every winner, finalist and community favorite who gave us something worth celebrating this summer. Now put those awards somewhere everyone can see them. 😉

Tomorrow, we start something new.
