In this three part series we will take a brief look at some of the fabulous and exciting social events taking place in Orlando Florida over the next twelve months. Plan your vacation around the events you wish to take part in – there truly is something for everyone. Let’s begin with the first four months of the year.
January
Walt Disney World isn’t just about thrill rides and Mickey Mouse, fitness is also important. The first weekend in January is host to the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend in which celebrity runners lead participants in a short marathon designed to promote an active lifestyle. The Sports Complex at Walt Disney World offers participants seminars in training, racing and nutrition.
February
Mardi Gras starts early in Orlando, specifically at Universal Studios. Experience the Orlando style of Mardi Gras with music, Cajun food and of course lots of entertainment for the whole family. The celebration runs well into April, so there is lots of time to schedule! SeaWorld has its annual Bands, Brew and BBQ for three weeks during February and March. There is lots of great BBQ’d food, world famous bands and locally brewed beer. Disney is also holding its President’s Day Soccer Festival in which families of all ages can come and watch or participate in soccer competition.
March
From the beginning of March all the way into May, Epcot Center hosts the International Flower and Garden Festival. The festival showcases extraordinary garden displays, all in international themes. March is also the time to see the Global Pet Event Expo in Orlando. See all the wild and exotic creatures people from all over the US call their pets. Learn how to care for those rare animals, or maybe bring home a new furry friend! Plus, what is March in Orlando without a St. Patrick’s Day celebration? The seventeenth of the month is marked with the St. Patrick’s Day Party at Downtown Disney starting at eleven in the morning! All ages are welcome. The first week of March is marked by Bike Week in Daytona Beach, which brings bikers from all over the US. This is the east coast version of Sturgis!
April
What’s the best part of April? Easter of course! Celebrate Easter at Disney World with live performances with the Disney characters in Disney’s Magical Kingdom Park. Plus, don’t forget the Marshmallow Drop in Barnett Park where children are welcome to fill their Easter baskets with hidden marshmallows! One of April’s biggest events is the Fiesta Medina, the largest Latin American heritage celebration in the state! There is food, music and entertainment for the whole family. In conjunction with Fiesta Medina is Fiesta in the Park, held at Lake Eola in downtown Orlando. Each April holds the worldwide Earth Day and SeaWorld embraces that day. Don’t miss Jack Hanna’s Weekends at SeaWorld during April for an Earth Day celebration. Some of Jack Hanna’s favorite friends from all over the world will be in attendance.
