The Citrus Town Center will be kicking off its annual outdoor activities with a Spring Celebration on April 25 this year, promising fun for the whole family at the corner of Greenback Lane and Sunrise Boulevard.

The first in a series of events scheduled for the year, the April “celebration” will include train rides, arts and crafts for kids, music, entertainment, free caricatures, and a new “spinning wheel” to win merchant prizes, according to an event promotional on the town center’s website.

The two-hour afternoon event is one of many activities the Citrus Town Center sponsors throughout the year, as part of its goal to foster a “community feel” for the neighborhood shopping center. Other events this year will include four outdoor showings of newly released children’s films, beginning May 9, and several Summer Safari kid’s camps.

In 2012, the former “Sunrise Festival Shopping Center” finalized its nearly $4 million remodel, featuring new landscaping, store frontages, outdoor seating areas, and a prominently displayed new name at the corner of Greenback Lane and Sunrise Boulevard.

The 240,000-square-feet shopping center includes businesses like Sprout’s, Staples, Marshall’s, and the soon-to-come Half Price Books.
