Ocala: Went to the World Equestrian Center this year to see the Christmas extravaganza (lights, music, food). Paid for parking, otherwise free.
Amazing place. You can smell the money. Some very upscale shopping, but mostly western-themed wear, jewelry, hats, $20000 saddles !

Along Hwy 40 east - west lots of lights.

Downtown square - amazing number of lights up in the trees.

There is another equestrian park near Ocala that advertises Christmas lighting for $ - not so much.
Will try that one this year.

Mt Dora ! Definitely worth the trip. The guy that lights up the marina should get a Best In Show prize.
