Snowbird Season
Central Florida's snowbird season runs from approximately October through April, when seasonal residents from northern states and Canada migrate south to escape winter weather. The region's mild winter temperatures (averaging 60 to 75 degrees), affordable cost of living, and abundance of activities make it one of the top snowbird destinations in the country.
Popular Communities
Top snowbird communities in Central Florida include The Villages (the largest retirement community in the US), Mount Dora, Clermont, Sun City Center near Tampa, and various communities along the Space Coast. Many snowbirds rent apartments or homes for the season, while others own property they use part-time.
Activities and Social Life
Snowbirds enjoy golf, tennis, pickleball, fishing, birdwatching, and beach outings during their winter stay. Many communities have active social clubs, card groups, and organized excursions. Theme parks offer Florida resident discounts. Cultural venues in Orlando, Tampa, and St. Petersburg have robust winter performance schedules.
Group Excursions
