The Reilly is nice, clean, and very well kept. The staff and servers always go above and beyond to please. The ticket prices and level of entertainment make the Reilly affordable and appealing. If you like good music, and have the opportunity to do so, the Reilly is the place to be!

See my pics... nice small intimate venue, where the performers can interact with the audience. Drinks are reasonably priced, and they had multiple bars open. Highly recommended!

For over a half of century (66 years) Blessed Trinity has put together the largest carnival this…read morecounty has ever seen. Their first ever carnival began with a simple donated pony ride in 1949. You know they have to be doing something right! It has gotten so large with 10,000 in attendance that it has been expanded to 4 days. Single ride tickets are available but it's best to purchase a wristband so you can ride all the rides as many times as you'd like for one designated day. That's a whole lot of fun! What's best is if you purchase the wristband in advance, there's a substantial discount. Riding all day means you get to eat your all your meals there. There are local restaurants there that you can purchase a meal ticket in advance from and just pick up your dinner when you're ready. Of course the fried food stands are always the most popular as well as the cheesesteaks. The raffle for prizes are always the annual highlight. The sponsers go all out in donating these large items to the school. Trips, cruises and cars are always some of the favorite big ticket items. A lot of funds are generated from solely the raffles. It's a win-win for everyone as it's an inexpensive day out with the proceeds going to a great cause.

Known as FAFO this is the most popular art show in Ocala as it has been going strong for 49 years!…read moreThere's every type of art category i.e.: mixed media, fiber, photography, clay, jewelry, sculpture and a lot more. Most important to the artists is that this is a juried show. There's always awards for each category. This is also a win for us customers as 1)A good variety means multiple purchases 2)Everyone would like an art piece from a winning artist. This certainly has expanded over the years. In previous years it was held at McPherson Complex which was always nice and was on grass so it was a comfortable walk. The last 2 years now it has been held downtown over several different areas. I love that it is the only event downtown that has an entire designated handicap parking area. I don't care for that as it is spread out over different areas and there's a ton of walking involved. And it's all on hot cement. Add to that fact that the entire downtown streets are closed down for 2 days and it makes for mayhem to the drivers. Other than the art vendors there are a ton of other happenings. There's live performances of some type at 2 different stages that changes every couple of hours. If you're hungry there's a few food trucks parked in a designated area and the local school walks around selling bottled water that won't break the bank. It's always a great outing for anyone. If you're an art lover and happen to miss it, most of the art vendors attend a similar art show in Gainesville not long after this on.

While discovering all about the Silver Spring you can enjoy a multitude of fun. For 2 days there are musicians playing mostly blue grass at the mansion stage as well as the dock stage. This year there were 40 vendors selling a wide variety merchandise. Movies and exhibits are always fun and educational. New this year were beautiful mermaids in a cute indoor setting where children can have there photo taken with them. It's surely to return next year as it was a huge hit. Auctions of one of a kind art run both days and there's always a signing of a celebrity of some sort. The most popular event are the famous glass bottom boats. It's your only chance to ride one for only 1/2 price!

Located in downtown Ocala its a great fit for this entertainment and nightlife district. Pricing is very affordable and so are the concessions. Comfy seating, good acoustics, friendly staff, nicely air conditioned. My sister purchased tickets for us to see a comedy show and it was great. Each comedian had the audience in tears. Would definitely see a show here again.

The first thing you see when you walk in is a sign that says "no refunds for any reason". Hmmmm... Set up in the smallish theater is weird: a slippery downsloping floor where the rows of seats are not offset, so you have to lean at a weird angle to see the movie. Thankfully, no one was sitting in front of us or watching the movie would have been very difficult. Which bring us to the movie itself. It was so dim that the entire film seemed to be set in a dark cave. Complaining to the manager basically got a shrug and a statement that the fault lay with the print they received & that they couldn't improve it at all. So we'll have to go see it again somewhere else. Now we understand the sign.

This place was getting run down when I went many years ago, and now it is just down right scary!!…read moreIt shows first run films in a nasty, sticky, ripped up theater that needs to be shut down, or at the very least converted to a dollar theater. At least with a dollar theater you don't expect too much. My mom said it was on a sink hole and they had to close it down for a while, and I guess when they re-opened it, they just unlocked the door and kept on moving. No renovations or anything. I don't think it is worth remodeling, but the city could use a theater near this location.
