Lake Placid Florida was named “America’s Most Interesting Town” by the Reader’s Digest in 2012.  The reasons for this honor are many.   Lake Placid is one of Florida’s prettiest small towns.  It is renowned for its murals and has almost 50 outdoor murals throughout the town, some are as large as 30’x175’.  It is also the Caladium Capital of the World and produces over 95 percent of the world’s bulb supply and an annual festival is held each July to celebrate this.  Another local favorite is the Hen scratch Farms Vineyard & Winery, which hosts the very popular annual grape stomp in August.

A fun fact about Lake Placid is that is home to more clowns per capita than anywhere else in America.  This is made possible in part by Toby’s Clown School in Lake Placid which graduates 25 clowns each year.
