The 60-bell carillon inside the Singing Tower rings out over the gardens twice daily — a Lake Wales ritual since 1929.
Twice a day, the carillonneur at Bok Tower Gardens plays the 60-bell carillon housed in the 205-foot Singing Tower, carrying music across Iron Mountain and the surrounding ridge.
The tradition dates to the gardens' 1929 dedication and remains one of the most distinctive daily rituals in Central Florida.
