What is worth doing in Winter Park this week?

Park Avenue, the Saturday market when it is on, and whatever the City of Winter Park and the Chamber have posted. Use the [events calendar](/journal/winter-park). The Vias and the Chain of Lakes do not need an event to be the reason you came.

Is Baldwin Park on the same calendar?

No. Baldwin Park runs on the village green, Lake Baldwin, and a Tuesday that works. It is ten minutes from JR’s office at Kelly Price & Company on Park Avenue. Live one, visit the other.

What about New Smyrna Beach this weekend?

North Beach is the retreat. Flagler is the town. Confirm beach-driving rules for the stretch you care about. Second-home clients should walk it at the hour they would actually use the house.

Does JR Keelin host public events?

Occasionally an open house is public — 1271 Palmer Avenue this season is the example. Most introductions are private. Check Residences, or [write](/contact).

How do I get the weekly note rather than hunt for it?

Begin the conversation. JR will not add you to a blast. He will tell you when the week in Winter Park, Baldwin Park, or New Smyrna Beach actually matters to a house you are considering.

This week in Winter Park, Baldwin Park, and New Smyrna Beach

Last updated September 18, 2026·Peter "JR" Keelin

Editorial note — not an MLS listing.

This week in Winter Park is still a Saturday on Park Avenue, a walk under the oaks, and whatever the city and Chamber have put on the public calendar. Baldwin Park will spend it on the green and the Lake Baldwin loop. New Smyrna Beach will spend it on the sand — North Beach quieter, Flagler more like a town. JR Keelin keeps the three maps in the same week because clients live across them, not in a portal filter.

Start with the official calendars, then decide whether the house you want is a walk to the avenue, a Tuesday in Baldwin Park, or a Friday on the coast. The Winter Park market note and the community events calendar are the durable pages; this note is the weekly reading.

Editorial note — not a listing, not an MLS feed. Confirm dates on the city and Chamber sites before you plan around them.

If you are in town to look at houses, write first. A Saturday market is not a showing. A showing is arranged so the house is ready and the conversation is private.

Continue on the markets, private listings, a confidential valuation, or write JR.
