A convivial community is a major reason many potential ICI Homes customers choose Plantation Bay Golf & Country Club — one of our signature properties in east central Florida.
Its resident amenities are legendary, and so is its calendar, stocked each month with regular activities and celebrations.
But another perk of this gated master-planned community is its nearby hometown of Ormond Beach — one of the liveliest and loveliest “Old Florida” beach towns on the Atlantic coast. More year-round fun awaits Plantation Bay residents a short drive away, and since autumn is a busy festival season, why not check out a few?
Here’s several “festive” suggestions in and around Ormond Beach.
Key takeaways
- Plantation Bay residents enjoy easy access to Ormond Beach, a vibrant coastal town full of fall events and festivals
- County Line Family Farms’ Fall Festival runs weekends in October with pumpkin patches, hay rides, corn maze, pony rides, and more
- Taste of Ormond on October 19 offers food tastings from local restaurants, live music, and a charity raffle at Rockefeller Gardens
- The Riverfest Seafood Festival on November 15-16 celebrates coastal cuisine with live music, local artisans, and free admission and water taxi service
Fall Festival at County Line Family Farms

Looking for that perfect Jack O’Lantern? County Line Family Farm’s pumpkin patch has you (and little ones) covered. Stay busy with hay rides, an 8.2-acre corn maze, a kid-friendly play zone, a petting zoo, pony rides, live music, food trucks and much more. Note that some activities require a fee.

Taste of Ormond
Head back to the Casements’ Rockefeller Gardens on Sunday, October 19 for a tasty afternoon of local flavors. The Taste of Ormond runs from 4-7 p.m., and it’s probably smart to pace your yourself and your portions so that you can enjoy everything from two dozen Ormond Beach restaurants.
