Central Florida Folk hosts folk music concerts on the last Sunday of the month, in the Orlando area. The May concert is usually held on the 3rd Sunday.  Concerts in November and December are usually held on a date that does not conflict with Thanksgiving or Christmas. Library concerts begin at 2:00 PM because the Library closes at 5 PM on Sundays.  Lake of the Woods concerts  begin at 2:30 PM.  Fodor's Grove concerts start sometime between 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM, subject to slight change, depending on the season.
