West Volusia, Florida, is bursting with summer activities that cater to every interest. Here’s a glimpse at what’s happening across its 14 communities located between Orlando and Daytona Beach.

The award-winning CoolCraft Summer beverage competition returns from June 23 to September 1, for a Summer Safari across West Volusia. Twenty-two local coffee roasters, breweries, tea purveyors, and mixologists have crafted special, animal-inspired beverages for travelers to discover and vote on. Enjoy these animal beverages in their natural habitat—featuring a Kangaroo-Kick Shake, Gorilla Jungle Juice, and Manatee Mango Coolada—there are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties for everyone to enjoy. Grab your friends, don your safari cap, and embark on a road trip to sample these wild flavors, then vote for your favorites across West Volusia!
Need a break? Stay overnight at one of the CoolCation partners, from downtown hotels to riverside resorts on the St. Johns River.
Fourth of July Fun and Festivities
Celebrate Independence Day in style at various family-friendly events throughout West Volusia, such as the Freedom Fest DeBary. This family-friendly event features live entertainment, food vendors, and dazzling fireworks displays.
A Step Back in Time at DeLeon Springs
Some places just make you slow down and savor the moment. DeLeon Springs State Park is one of them. Picture this: crystal-clear spring water perfect for swimming or kayaking, shaded hiking trails where birds and butterflies make frequent appearances, and a pancake house where you cook your breakfast right at the table. The Old Sugar Mill Pancake House, a must-visit inside the park, serves up a DIY pancake experience that’s as fun as it is delicious. It’s Old Florida at its finest.
