Lennar Expecting Hundreds of Visitors during Holiday Festival of Lights at Stoneybrook at Venice and Bella Terra Estates in Estero

FORT MYERS, Fla. --- Lennar, Florida’s largest home builder, and residents of Stoneybrook at Venice and Bella Terra Estates in Estero, expect visitors by the hundreds during the Holiday Festival of Lights Dec. 18 and 19.

Matt Devereaux, director of sales for Lennar’s Southwest Florida Division, said Lennar is teaming up with home owners at both communities to create magical neighborhoods of lighted displays to celebrate the traditional Christmas holiday.

“Our residents are very excited about the Festival of Lights and many of them are competing for prizes for the most creatively-lit homes,” Devereaux explained. “It will be something to see, that’s for sure,” he said.

Lennar is participating in a big way---festooning the community’s gated entrances, city streets and Lennar’s Welcome Home Centers to the max for the duration of the holidays.

The gates will be open until 9 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday nights to accommodate the expected crowds, Devereaux said.

Santa Claus will be on hand to greet families at the Welcome Home Centers and Lennar is providing free photos with Santa for the kids.

“This is our way of giving back to the community,” Devereaux said. “We’ll be happy if everyone in the Venice and Estero areas comes for a visit,” he said.

Stoneybrook at Venice is located South of Venice Farm Rd. on N. River Rd. in Venice.
Bella Terra Estates in Estero is located south of Corkscrew Rd. approximately 2.5 miles east of I-75.
