The Orange Blossom Revue returns to Lake Wales for its 11th annual celebration December 5–6, 2025, according to festival organizers..

Florida's beloved boutique music and arts event takes place in the scenic Lake Wailes Park, just outside historic downtown Lake Wales and an easy drive from central Florida hubs like Tampa and Orlando.

Known for its intimate, family-friendly atmosphere, scenic lakeside setting, and a lineup that blends Americana legends with rising stars, Orange Blossom Revue continues to champion the charm and creative energy of Central Florida, while keeping the spotlight firmly on the small-but-mighty creative powerhouse that is Lake Wales.

Friday, December 5 festivities will feature Southern rock heavyweights Drive-By Truckers, GRAMMY-winning bluegrass powerhouse The SteelDrivers, and retro-funk savants Improvement Movement.

Saturday's lineup brings the heat with soul-stirring rockers The Revivalists, teenage guitar phenom Grace Bowers & The Hodge Podge, horn-fueled soul-pop outfit The Dip, raw blues dynamo Eddie 9V, and rootsy Americana upstart Johnny Mullenax.

The Orange Blossom Revue was founded in 2014 by Lake Wales natives Rusty Ingley and Reid Hardman as a grassroots BBQ fundraiser. Originally hosted by the Lake Wales Rotary Club, the festival has since grown into one of Florida's most cherished annual gatherings.

With the help of producer Micah Davidson (Midwood Entertainment), the festival has evolved into a destination event while staying true to its community-driven spirit. Ticket sales support Blossom Charitable Foundation, which invests in local organizations like the Lake Wales Arts Council and Lake Wales Charter Schools.

"Every year, the energy in Lake Wales just keeps growing," Hardman said. "I couldn't be more excited to see the festival take on new heights this year. We've always focused on bringing people together through great music, food, and community, and this year, we're amplifying that spirit in ways we've never done before. It's a celebration of who we are and where we've come from, and it's shaping up to be one for the books."
