- Tip for you as property manager / marketer: Encourage tenants and owners to get involved — maybe promote a “watch party” at a local café or ask them to decorate their front porches leading up to the parade for social media content.
2. Winter Wonderland (Gainesville)

- Tip: Use this in your newsletter with a local photo (if you can) and maybe include a discount/promo code if available. Could also be a fun “tenant appreciation” outing or weekend suggestion for the families renting with you.

- Tip: Suggest taking advantage of this event as a way to explore the broader rental market region (Cedar Key) — for investors or owners thinking about expanding. Good synergy with your property-owner marketing.

5. Momentum Dance Presents Holiday Fantasy Recital
- Date/Time: Saturday, December 6, at 1:00 pm. performingarts.ufl.edu
- Location: Venue via University of Florida Performing Arts / Gainesville.
- Why it’s a good pick: While more niche (dance recital), it’s part of the holiday arts scene — good for appealing to a different segment of your newsletter audience (tenants/owners interested in culture, performing arts).
- Tip: If you manage more upscale/amenity-rich properties, mention this as a local value-added benefit: “Within minutes of your rental property you’ll find quality local arts and holiday performances.”
