As summer begins winding down and children return to school, Greater Lake Worth starts moving into a new rhythm. Calendars become busier, seasonal residents begin returning to South Florida, community activities increase, and the holiday season suddenly feels much closer.
Although October may seem far away, now is the ideal time for residents, businesses, and local organizations to begin planning.
For Residents: Start Looking Ahead
The months ahead will bring fall festivals, Halloween activities, community gatherings, Thanksgiving celebrations, holiday markets, dining experiences, and family-friendly events.
Planning early can help you avoid crowded calendars and missed opportunities. Begin watching for:
Back-to-school programs and activities
Fall festivals and community events
Halloween celebrations
Thanksgiving dining and catering
Holiday markets and shopping events
Volunteer and charitable opportunities
Seasonal entertainment and family activities
Greater Lake Worth Living will help you discover what is happening nearby, meet the people behind local businesses, and find more ways to enjoy and support the community.
For Businesses: The Time to Promote the Holidays Is Before They Arrive
Many businesses wait until the holiday season has already begun to promote their events, products, and services. By that point, customers may have already made their plans and purchasing decisions.
Now is the time to determine what you want people to know about your business during October, November, and December.
Consider promoting:
Fall and holiday specials
Seasonal menus and catering
Halloween or Thanksgiving events
Holiday gifts and shopping offers
Home preparation and decorating services
Health, beauty, and wellness packages
Year-end professional services
Reservations and private events
Charitable drives and community partnerships
Your message does not need to say everything. Focus on one clear reason people should visit, call, reserve, register, or learn more.
Consistent visibility helps your business become familiar before a customer needs what you offer. When the time comes to make a decision, people are more likely to remember a business they have already seen and heard about.
For Organizations: Share Your Plans Early
Schools, nonprofits, clubs, houses of worship, neighborhood associations, and community organizations are also encouraged to begin submitting their fall and holiday announcements.
We want to know about:
Fundraisers
Volunteer opportunities
Community programs
School and youth activities
Donation drives
Seasonal celebrations
Educational programs
Local achievements
People making a difference
Submitting information early gives us more opportunities to share it through the magazine, website, social media, and weekly e-newsletter.
Coming in the October/November Issue
The inaugural October/November issue of Greater Lake Worth Living will arrive as our community enters one of its busiest and most exciting times of the year.
The issue will introduce readers to local people, businesses, organizations, events, and experiences throughout Greater Lake Worth. It will also help residents discover places to dine, shop, visit, and enjoy as we move into fall, Thanksgiving, and the beginning of the holiday season.
Local businesses and organizations interested in participating should reach out now while editorial and advertising space is being finalized.

Greater Lake Worth Living was created to help our community become more informed, visible, and connected—but we need your help discovering the stories worth sharing.
You can participate by:
Submitting an event
