The 2024 season at Lakeland Cultural Arts Center will feature a diverse lineup of entertainment including headliners like recent contender on NBC’s The Voice, Jordan Rainer. 

Additional offerings will include community theater productions, comedy acts, swing band and bluegrass concerts, tribute band performances, movies, and more. 

As it anticipates its lineups for the new year, the center rang in 2024 with its inaugural New Year’s gala — Three Toasts to Midnight — where attendees walked the red carpet, danced and mingled.

"We were thrilled that Three Toasts to Midnight was such a hit this year.  We’re ready to do it again," said Jay LaPointe, LCAC board chair. "The community came together and we welcomed the new year with live music, delicious food, champagne toasts, and festivities that celebrated cultures from all over the world. It was a magical evening that wouldn't have been possible without the support of our generous sponsors."

The gala featured three champagne toasts aligning with New Year's celebrations in China, Italy, and New York. Partygoers listened to a  live performance by Blazin' Keys Entertainment and dined on gourmet food.  

LaPointe credited the sponsors. "We are grateful to all of our top-tier and silver sponsors for making this event possible and helping LCAC continue to bring world-class performing arts to our region. As a non-profit, we rely on our sponsors and the community to sustain our work." 

The presenting sponsors included The Fix Salon, Kenneth Daniel Roofing, and Coldwell Banker Advantage - The Watson Group.  

Additional sponsors were WatersView Restaurant, Sand Dollar Seaplanes, Rivertown Home, and Buddy Isles Tire and Automotive.

“With the community's continued support, Lakeland Cultural Arts Center looks forward to another year of inspiring, entertaining, and educating through the arts,” LaPointe said.
