A new mural official unveiled in downtown Orlando on Thursday evening is just the start of making downtown an even more appealing place to visit, officials say.
Three seasonal events happening now at Orlando attractions that you can enjoy in the great outdoors
If our recent wave of unseasonably warm weather has you itching to leave your house, but you re still antsy about attending activities inside, here are three seasonal events happening now at local attractions that you can enjoy in the great outdoors.
New Orleans nixed this year s Fat Tuesday celebrations, but we Floridians won t allow a little pandemic to interfere with our party plans. Universal Orlando is still letting the good times roll with their 26th annual Mardi Gras event, even if their signature parades and concerts have been canceled. In place of the usual entertainment, visitors to Universal Studios Florida will find this year s pirate-themed floats parked all around the park, accompanied by costumed performers tossing beads to passersby from a safe distance.
Orlando Fringe’s 30th festival this May will have fewer venues and limited seating but still offer roughly 80 shows. Other COVID-19 precautions will make theatergoers feel like VIPs: Cocktail delivery service to tables across Loch Haven Park, where the annual festival takes place, will reduce lines and crowds at the festival bars.
$22-$25
Throughout the pandemic year that was 2020, Orlando arts movers Creative City Project lived up to their moniker more than perhaps ever before. Already well-versed in staging happenings and performances in public spaces and unconventional locales as writ large with their annual Immerse takeovers of downtown Orlando Creative City staged three events, each successively bigger than the last, that all pointed the way forward for live art in this ever-lengthening uncertain moment.
The Re:Charge collaboration with Timucua Arts, the
Bright Young Things theatrical walking tour through downtown Orlando, and finally the holiday phantasmagoria Dazzling Nights that transformed Leu Gardens were all breaths of fresh air creatively adventurous but with audience and performer safety firmly centered.
If, like the White Rabbit, you were running late and therefore didn’t snag a ticket to Creative City Project’s “Down the Rabbit Hole,” there’s good news: New dates have been added to the schedule.
