What are the most exciting Orlando events?

There a lot to do and see in Orlando throughout the year. From concerts to parades to unique exhibits and conventions, the city has much to offer to both visitors and residents alike. Orlando events go from the elegant to the whimsical to the exciting and wild. Whatever your interests are, there is something here to keep you entertained.

Musical events

The good thing about Orlando concerts and musical events is that they happen all year long. Musical festivals You might not think of classical music as exciting but the annual Kissimmee Blue Grass Festival, held every March at the Silver Spurs Arena, comes complete with under-the-stars performances, traditional Southern food and gospel music. You could also come over in May, when Orlando is home to the Orlando International Fringe Festival, where you can see theatre performances in local parks, abandoned buildings and even the streets.
Surprises Part of the excitement of this festival is finding the performances by accident. You might just turn to the right corner and find yourself enjoying an ultra-modern version of Shakespeare's Othello.

Festivals

If you are looking for Orlando discount tickets to attractions, your best bet is to try one of the local festivals. Wine & dine and storytelling The International Food and Wine Festival in October offers a chance to try foods and wines from all over the world, while the Florida Storytelling Festival in November offers live performances, some of which come with their own ghosts. Florida's Mardi Gras Perhaps, the most exciting event of all is the Orlando Carnival, Florida's version of Mardi Gras, which comes complete with a city parade and takes place in May.

Unique events

Orlando might be home to some of the strangest, quirkiest events in the country. Quirkiest events Take April's Marshmallow Drop, where a helicopter flies over Bear Creek Park and drops thousands of marshmallows for people to catch. There is also July's Celebrity Mascot Games, where the mascots from professionals NBA and NFL (and other) teams show up to compete in games and challenges. Boot Hill Saloon Biketoberfest Party
If all else fails to entertain you, show up for the Boot Hill Saloon Biketoberfest Party. Held every October at a biker's bar, it offers a live show where experts create ice sculptures using chain saws.
