Imagine walking outside, into a metropolitan mashup of visuals, exciting sounds, and electrifying performances. Stop daydreaming and start immersing yourself soon, as IMMERSE returns the weekend of Oct. 18 and 19. The Creative City Project brings the spectacle back to downtown Orlando, filling entire city blocks with jaw-dropping visuals and music. This year will be the project’s most ambitious project to date, with the two-day interactive art mega-project expanding into the Dr. Phillips Center’s Seneff Arts Plaza and beyond.
