NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. - TelAve -- MetroLagoons is celebrating Christmas in July with a weekend full of holiday cheer across its four lagoons.

From July 24-26, activities will take place across the greater Tampa and Southwest Florida regions. Guests can enjoy a summer-inspired twist on holiday traditions with a mix of festive, family-friendly experiences throughout the weekend.

Santa is making a special summer appearance for photos and early wish lists, while the Grinch will stop by for meet-and-greets with guests to see if a little extra cheer can help grow his heart this summer. High-energy Elf Dance Party performances will bring holiday spirit to life with music, dancing and interactive fun, and the First Snow of Summer Foam Party will transform The Hub with a flurry of frothy fun as mountains of foam "snow" fill the air. Additional activities, including balloon twisters and airbrush artists, will add to the excitement.
