Dearest Reader, By the gentlest insistence of society, and a great many admirers, The Modiste Market returns once more to the storied halls and shaded verandas of the Lakeside Inn in downtown Mount Dora. Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 28th, 2026, when from 10 o'clock in the morning until 3 in the afternoon, guests shall gather for an affair as charming as it is indulgent. Last season's gathering proved a resounding success, with visitors arriving from near and far to promenade the grounds, delight in refined amusements, and shop the wares of the most talented local merchants. Naturally, an encore was inevitable  Guests may expect an elegant summer fête featuring: • A thoughtfully curated selection of artful vendors and small businesses • Live music to set the tone for leisurely mingling • Complimentary Regency-era dance instruction and social amusements • A charming historical presentation to transport attendees to another age • Brunch offerings worthy of the ton • Enchanting photo moments throughout the property, perfect for a debutante's portrait • And a sprinkling of delightful surprises, should one arrive early enough   Regency, tea party, or vintage-inspired dress is never required… though it is most enthusiastically encouraged. Vendor applications are now open, and merchants of refined taste and quality goods are invited to apply for this celebrated summer engagement. So polish your gloves, practice your curtsy, and prepare for an afternoon of elegance, whimsy, and just a touch of society intrigue.   Yours in anticipation, Lady Orange Blossom For room discounts, please contact the Lakeside Inn directly at 352-383-4101 and use code MODISTE
