Living in Celebration
Celebration is an unincorporated master-planned town in northwest Osceola County, built in the mid-1990s on New Urbanist planning principles and home to 11,178 residents at the 2020 census. Its compact downtown along Market Street faces a central lakefront, its civic buildings were designed by architects including Philip Johnson, Michael Graves and Cesar Pelli, and the overall town plan came from Robert A. M. Stern and Jaquelin T. Robertson. Local governance runs through the Celebration Community Development District and the Celebration Residential Owners Association rather than a city government.
