Renowned for its Speedway, colourful history, world-class cultural amenities and numerous year-round golf courses, Daytona Beach is gearing up for a non-stop slate of great festivals.

Blessed with 37 kilometres of hard-packed beaches, Daytona Beach’s famous Boardwalk is lined with amusement and funky shops while the historic downtown also offers a bounty of special boutiques and restaurants.

Excitement continues to unfold. The area recently became a hotbed of innovative craft-beer brewers; follow the Daytona Beach Ale Trail to experience them. A new Tanger Outlets Mall is scheduled to open in November. And the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art—with its largest repository of Florida art in the world—recently opened.   

This winter and spring, the event calendar overflows. The Holiday Season kicks off November 24–27 with the much-anticipated Turkey Run, showcasing thousands of classic cars. Then, from December 1–4, the Ferrari World Finals takes place here for the first time in America. On December 8, the Smithsonian-affiliated Museum of Arts & Sciences stages its Roaring 20s Flapper event while the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse, Florida’s tallest, holds its “Climb to the Moon” event on December 13. And the Stetson Mansion—built by the man who gave us the Stetson hat and open year-round—hosts Christmas Spectacular Tours through January 15.
