The Weekend Lineup: June 12-14

**Saturday night is show-jumping under the lights: the [$85,000 4CYTE Grand Prix](/events/85000-4cyte-grand-prix-csi2-2026-06-13/) runs in the Grand Arena at the [World Equestrian Center](/directory/world-equestrian-center/) -- free admission, free parking, international riders. Friday, the national smooth-jazz trio [BPM](/events/bpm-wbrian-bromberg-paul-brown-michael-paulo-2026-06-12/) -- Brian Bromberg, Paul Brown, and Michael Paulo -- plays the [Reilly Arts Center](/directory/reilly-arts-center/), and Mount Dora opens a three-day run of its own: an art stroll Friday night, Plaid in the Park Saturday, the Village Market Sunday morning. It's full Florida summer out there -- mid-90s all three days, and the afternoon storm odds climb as the weekend goes, with Saturday the day most likely to rumble. Do the outdoor stuff in the morning, keep the evening plans flexible, and you'll be fine.**

## Friday

### [BPM: Brian Bromberg, Paul Brown & Michael Paulo](/events/bpm-wbrian-bromberg-paul-brown-michael-paulo-2026-06-12/) -- [Reilly Arts Center](/directory/reilly-arts-center/), 7:30 PM ET

Three national jazz names on one stage: bassist Brian Bromberg, guitarist Paul Brown, and saxophonist Michael Paulo, playing together as BPM. This is the listening-room show of the weekend, in Ocala's best room for one.

### [Art in the Alley](/events/art-in-the-alley-2026-06-12/) -- Downtown Mount Dora, 6-9 PM ET

Mount Dora's second-Friday art stroll, with Panache by Vintage Rose and Studio ArtFarm anchoring the route. Galleries open late, downtown fills up, and it makes a fine first leg of a full Mount Dora weekend.

### [ROD THE SHOW](/events/rod-the-show-celebrating-the-music-and-legacy-of-rod-stewart-2026-06-12/) -- [Savannah Center](/directory/savannah-center/), 4 & 7 PM ET

A full-production tribute celebrating the music of Rod Stewart -- the look, the rasp, the catalog -- with two shows to pick from -- a 4 PM matinee and a 7 PM evening performance. Take the matinee and you're home before the squares get going; take the 7 and make a night of it.

### [Hear Us Roar III](/events/hear-us-roar-iii-2026-06-12/) -- [Ocala Civic Theatre](/directory/ocala-civic-theatre/), 6-8:30 PM ET

Live music and an art sale in one evening, raising money for Arts in Health Ocala Metro and The Arc. A good-cause night out that doesn't feel like a fundraiser.

### [Under Siege: Slain at the Speakeasy](/events/under-siege-enterprises-presents-slain-at-the-speakeasy-2026-06-12/) -- [Valerie Theatre](/directory/valerie-theatre/), Inverness

An immersive murder mystery in the Valerie's 1920s room -- you're not watching the whodunit, you're a suspect in it. Runs Friday and Saturday evenings, so there's a second chance if your night's spoken for.

### Town-square live music -- free, every night

The engine that never stops: free live music on the squares, nightly at 6. Friday brings [Bar Fly](/events/bar-fly-2026-06-12/) to [Lake Sumter Landing](/directory/lake-sumter-landing-market-square/), [Johnny Wild & The Delights](/events/johnny-wild-the-delights-2026-06-12/) to [Brownwood](/directory/brownwood-paddock-square/), [The 789s](/events/the-789s-2026-06-12/) to the brand-new Eastport Town Square, [Uncle Bob's Rock Shop](/events/uncle-bob-s-rock-shop-2026-06-12/) to [Sawgrass Grove](/directory/sawgrass-grove/), and [CLUB CTRL with DJ Lu-S](/events/club-ctrl-feat-dj-lu-s-2026-06-12/) to [Spanish Springs](/directory/spanish-springs-town-square/). Five squares, five different nights out.

### A family thread Friday and Saturday

The [Reilly Arts Center](/directory/reilly-arts-center/) runs its summer movie series both days -- Cars and Lilo & Stitch on the big screen, multiple cheap matinees. An easy indoor anchor when the afternoon sky does its thing.

## Saturday

### [$85,000 4CYTE Grand Prix CSI2*](/events/85000-4cyte-grand-prix-csi2-2026-06-13/) -- [World Equestrian Center](/directory/world-equestrian-center/), 6:30 PM ET

The weekend's centerpiece. International show jumping under the lights in the Grand Arena -- horses and riders going for real money over big fences, and it costs you nothing: free admission, free parking, spectators welcome. If you've never watched a Grand Prix in person, this is the easiest yes in Ocala.

### [One Irish Rover](/events/one-irish-rover-van-morrison-tribute-2026-06-13/) -- [Orange Blossom Opry](/directory/orange-blossom-opry/), 7 PM ET

A tribute to Van Morrison at the Opry in Weirsdale -- Moondance, Brown Eyed Girl, Into the Mystic, played by a band that takes the catalog seriously. The Opry crowd will sing the choruses for them.

### [WindFM Rocks the Reilly: Pure Zeppelin](/events/windfm-rocks-the-reilly-pure-zeppelin-a-led-zeppelin-tribute-2026-06-13-2/) -- [Reilly Arts Center](/directory/reilly-arts-center/), Saturday evening

The Reilly flips from smooth jazz to Led Zeppelin in 24 hours: Pure Zeppelin pays tribute to the catalog with a full production. Loud, faithful, and a completely different room than Friday night.

### [Plaid in the Park](/events/plaid-in-the-park-2026-06-13/) -- [Sunset Park](/directory/sunset-park/), Mount Dora

Kilts, clans, and community on the Mount Dora lakefront -- the recurring Scottish gathering takes Sunset Park for the day. Leg two of the Mount Dora weekend.

### [Small Town Saturday Night](/events/small-town-saturday-night-2026-06-13/) -- Downtown Inverness

Inverness closes things off and turns downtown into a street party -- live music, vendors, neighbors. The Nature Coast's easiest Saturday night.

### [FamFest](/events/famfest-2026-06-13/) -- [Reilly Arts Center](/directory/reilly-arts-center/), Saturday morning

The family pick: a morning of kid-aimed performance and activity at the Reilly before the heat builds.

### [KennaDee at COPP Brewery & Winery](/events/kennadee-at-copp-brewery-winery-2026-06-13/) -- [COPP Brewery & Winery](/directory/copp-brewery-winery/), Crystal River

Live music at the Crystal River brewery -- a low-key Nature Coast afternoon with a local songwriter and a cold pour.

### More town-square music

Saturday at 6: [DeadLanders](/events/deadlanders-2026-06-13/) at [Brownwood](/directory/brownwood-paddock-square/), [Gravity Parade](/events/gravity-parade-2026-06-13/) at [Lake Sumter Landing](/directory/lake-sumter-landing-market-square/), [Rocky and The Rollers](/events/rocky-and-the-rollers-2026-06-13/) at Eastport Town Square, and [Sheila & The Sound](/events/sheila-the-sound-2026-06-13/) at [Spanish Springs](/directory/spanish-springs-town-square/).

---

## Sunday

### [Mount Dora Village Market](/events/mount-dora-village-market-2026-06-14/) -- [Sunset Park](/directory/sunset-park/), Sunday morning

Leg three: the Sunday-morning market at Sunset Park -- produce, makers, lake breeze. Go early, beat the heat, get the good bread.

### [Sunday FunDay](/events/sunday-funday-2026-06-14/) -- Brooksville, Sunday afternoon

Brooksville Parks & Rec's community afternoon -- games, music, and an unhurried way to close the weekend on the Nature Coast.

### Squares, one more night

Sunday at 6: [Beauty & The Beats](/events/beauty-the-beats-2026-06-14/) at [Brownwood](/directory/brownwood-paddock-square/), [Cable Cars](/events/cable-cars-2026-06-14/) at [Lake Sumter Landing](/directory/lake-sumter-landing-market-square/), [September Dogs](/events/september-dogs-2026-06-14/) at [Spanish Springs](/directory/spanish-springs-town-square/), and [The Rundown Band](/events/the-rundown-band-2026-06-14/) at [Sawgrass Grove](/directory/sawgrass-grove/). Free, outdoors, every single night -- it never gets old.
