MetroLagoons announces Christmas in July celebration July 24-26
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.
