The weekly build has been paused since October 6, 2026. The seasons and dates below still hold. Events are the ones the last finished build found, in the week of 2026-09-13, that have not happened yet — anything announced since is missing, and nothing here reflects this week's weather.

February, peaking February. The notch is October.

No date. datable to the day — this one is decided by the weather, not by the calendar, so the honest answer is a month rather than a day.

Where: Cortez fishing village
Drive: 75 minutes from Lakeland
In season: February
Peak: February
Certainty: datable to the day
Drone: check the venue
