Overview

Lake Placid, Florida is “The Caladium Capital of The World.” For any industry that makes such a mark on an area, there should be a festival celebrating it!

Lake Placid and the surrounding Sebring area are rich with natural beauty, excellent growing conditions, and talented people. While caladiums are the heart of our popular Caladium Festival, the event also highlights our creative community as well as our local heritage and culture.
