Arts - Enjoy Lake City

The arts are alive and thriving in Lake City! We have authors, dancers, musicians, and artists of all types among our local residents, with many opportunities to express ourselves in concerts and venues throughout the year. Enjoy!

Have Fun and Make Friends

Lake City Community Center is a safe, welcoming space for recreation, cultural services, and community outreach. Donated by the Lake City Lion’s Club in 1957, our Community Center hosts everyday activities like dance classes and senior meals, as well as big events like the Chinese New Year Celebration and Lion Dance. Come join the fun – we have something for everyone.

Lake City Library is a hub of activity for all ages, including family story times in Somali, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish, and citizenship classes for English as a Second Language (ESL).
