We were in the Villages for the first two weeks of July last year and found it quite pleasant. We expected high heat and humidity but it was quite bearable, high 80's. In the evenings after dinner, we'd walk through the neighborhood meeting people and enjoying the creativity and uniqueness of the landscaping. It was light until well after 9:00 PM and the temperature by that time was in the low 70's. We liked it so much we're coming back again this year.

We were a little surprised that the Villages did not have any fireworks displays on the 4th. They claimed that the insurance for a fireworks show was prohibitive--over a $100K. Friends suggested A Salute to America show at the Savannah Center which was a really nice way to celebrate our National holiday.
