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.
