Homosassa Christmas Tree Lighting
The Homosassa Christmas Tree Lighting remains a standout holiday tradition. Families come out for music, lights, and the start of the season. Events like this help newcomers understand what community life is really like in Citrus County.
Crystal River Manatee Season
Another highlight this month is manatee season in Crystal River. Cooler temperatures bring manatees into the springs, and residents enjoy boardwalk viewing, tours, and river activities.
