Kissimmee Blue-grass Festival

Close harmonies, aching fiddles, and no drums – welcome to the world of blue-grass. Savor the sounds of American folk performers such as The Ramblin’ Rose Band and The Osborne Brothers. Lawn chairs are encouraged and camping is available.
Mardi Gras at Universal

The ultimate ‘Big Easy’ party, with parades, music, and lots of beaded necklaces.
MGM-Studios Star Wars Weekends

Four consecutive weekends of Star Wars-inspired frolics.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

Evening seasonal fun complete with snow and enchanting parades.
Night of Joy

A two-night showcase of contemporary Christian music.
Orlando International Fringe Festival

With over 500 performances in 10 days, the Fringe offers improvised comedy, drag shows, stand-up, and more. Inspired by the Edinburgh festival, this premier event draws enthusiastic local crowds.
Orlando-UCF Shakespeare Festival

The highlight of this troupe’s nine-month season comes each spring, when they alternate two outdoor productions next to Lake Eola. One is staged traditionally, the other gets a modern twist.
Renninger’s Antique Extravaganzas

From Victorian furnishings to vintage political campaign buttons, you can find all things old and valuable sold at the 1,400 antique stalls spread across a meadow here. The prime goods go fast, so get here early (it opens around 9am).
Winter Park Sidewalk Arts Festival

For three days, this prestigious outdoor festival sees hundreds of artists exhibit on sidewalk stalls. Traffic comes to a standstill as massive crowds mill around and ponder purchases.
Zellwood Sweetcorn Festival

The draw here is eating as much sweetcorn as you can while listening to the day-long lineups of excellent country bands. A huge machine, Big Bertha, cooks up to 1,650 ears of corn every nine minutes. There are also some fairground rides and a crafts fair.
