Venue on Lake Lily

Serving the community since 1965

Possibly the only remaining community center of its kind — resident-grown, non-government-owned.

Mission & history

North Orlando’s premier community event campus

Since 1965, Venue on Lake Lily (originally incorporated as Maitland Civic Center) has been a Maitland residents’ grown and supported nonprofit with a mission to provide a place where our community can gather for public, private, and secular events — in the heart of Central Florida.

All funds from venue rentals go to administer and maintain this storied place. We provide facilities for civic, religious, literary, charitable, educational, social, and recreational interests of residents and businesses across North Orlando.

“The Venue on Lake Lily continues to evolve and become increasingly important as a place where memories are made.” — Renee Charlan

We also donate 10% of all room rental income to Children’s Pediatric Cancer Foundation, IDignity, and Orlando Abolitionist — so every booking lifts our neighbors.
