WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Leap Weekend Roundup!

For February 28-March 1, 2020.

This weekend we will get to celebrate Leap Day! Does your family have any traditions or superstitions surrounding the day or the entire leap year? We’ve read that many cultures believe that leap year and especially leap day are somewhat cursed. In fact, in Italy, they refer to a Leap Year as a gloomy year. They also warn against weddings and other special activities because “Anno bisesto tutte le donne senza sesto”, meaning “in a leap year, women are erratic.” We got a good laugh out of that. We’re still going to go out and have fun all weekend!

Are you an avid lover of Harry Potter? Head down to the library at South Florida State College and represent your house during Hogwarts Colloquium & Celebration! Play games, make crafts, and earn house points! Combine the magical world of Harry Potter with an array of Undergraduate Research. Become immersed in Hogwarts from 9am-4pm on Friday and help your house earn the House Cup! 

Fresh and delicious! The Lake Placid Farmers Market is open Saturday from 8am-1:30pm and will have a little of everything you’re looking for! Local Florida produce, artists, fresh food, plants, and music while you’re there!

Are you a DIY extraordinaire? Are you eager to DIY but don’t know where to start? All DIY lovers are welcome at The Grateful Hearts! This Saturday, they’re hosting some Morning Fun! Choose from a variety of projects including signs, centerpiece boxes, photo frames, trays, and so much more. Choose an adorable spring or Easter themed design and customize them for exactly what you want!

Blue Jupiter

Four mics. Four mouths. That’s it.

Blue Jupiter is coming to the Wildstein Center for the Performing Arts this Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 7pm. This incredible performance will show the pure talent of the international sensation Blue Jupiter. They use their voices and nothing else. No instruments, no tracks, just voices. They create the melody, the harmony, the backbeat; everything is made from their own mouths. Blue Jupiter is the cutting edge of a cappella. Their high energy and incredible talent and love of music truly shines in their performance. 

Think you recognize them? You probably do! Since their start in 2001, they’ve been on Oprah, Lifetime TV, and they’re even the voices behind the OREO Cookie commercials! They have had the opportunity to work alongside artists such as Owl City, Third Eye Blind, Andy Samberg, Pentatonix, and more! Blue Jupiter has even had the great fortune of performing for brands such as Disney, ABC Family, Honda, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and many more! They have been to numerous countries across the globe and have performed in nearly every single state! 

Upon being asked about their favorite performance, female powerhouse lead singer, Diana Preisler refers to getting to sing for the troops; “the Fourth of July performance for 10,000 US Troops and families stationed at the Kadena Airbase in Okinawa, Japan.” Leaving the second spot to “the time we sang for the Princess of Thailand and the ruler of the Philippines on New Years Eve in Hong Kong.” Gene Simmons from KISS calls Blue Jupiter “the real deal”. 

One night only, performing in Avon Park, Florida, this is a show you’ll regret missing! You can get tickets online HERE. You can also call the Box Office at 863.784.7178. Kids tickets are only $10! Remember to support the arts so we can keep them!
