The mission of the Lake City Betterment Association is to create opportunities for community enrichment and enjoyment through business development, providing events to enhance quality of life, and coordinating downtown beautification.

The LCBA helps promote and advertise our local businesses, provide SCC senior scholarships, work along side the city, & head annual events. Annual events include Fall Fest, Christmas Festival, & more. Most events include vendors, food trucks, and FREE kid activities!

Annual events:

• Annual Meeting (January)
• Customer Appreciation (June)
• Western Days (June)
• Fall Fest/Dell Blair Memorial Chili Cook-off (September)
• Shop Small (November)
• Christmas Festival (December) 

To keep events running we rely on annual memberships and sponsorships. Memberships are available for personal, nonprofit, and businesses. Sponsorships of any amount help keep event activities free to the public.

Memberships & sponsorships help the LCBA strive to keep Lake City a beautiful place to live, work, shop, or visit!
