About this happenin
Ten blocks of downtown Orlando close to traffic and fill with acrobats and projection art. IMMERSE is the Creative City Project's annual takeover of Orange Avenue between Central Boulevard and Anderson Street, spilling onto Pine and Church, and it lasts one February weekend. Hundreds of performances are packed so tightly that a single block can hand you a brass band and a fire spinner. There's walk-in inflatable sculpture too, and a light installation you can lie down inside. Walking the streets and watching the outdoor performances costs nothing, while optional upgrade tickets add stage access and reserved viewing areas. Friday and Saturday programming runs in the evening, roughly 5pm to 11pm, and Sunday brings a daytime fireworks show over Lake Eola. Downtown garages such as the Library and City Hall are the practical parking, and 55 West works too; rideshare drop-offs go best a few blocks off Orange. Almost all of it suits young audiences, strollers included, though some of what runs after 9pm is meant for older crowds.
More in February: 13 other Orlando events.
