Arts & Culture in Orlando: Image

Launched amid the pandemic, the Frontyard Festival was the first of its kind — an al fresco, socially distanced arts and music series — and it's perfectly suited to the needs of the now. Taking over the sprawling front lawn of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Orlando and filling it with a stage, a high-level sound system and safely distanced pod seating, FYF is a great way to support the performing arts while still centering individual and community safety. And the Frontyard's stage has hosted top-level talent, from King Crimson to Indigo Girls to Michael James Scott, along with movies, community events and even some exercise programs. The Festival secured some funding to stay open for a while longer, so take in some music and performing arts in the fresh air while you can.

12 electric pottery wheels, a slab roller, a spray booth and an extruder,4 electric kilns and two gas kilns, with cone 10 oxidation, reduction, and low-fire Raku capabilities. Clay and tools are available for purchase on site.

For live sound, the Plaza rules all in Orlando, whether you wind up in the big room or the small room. When you see acts booked here, join the rush to reserve front row seats for the best folk, country, hip-hop and classical music you’ll hear performed within our city’s walls. Bonus: the venue doubles as a practice space for the Orlando Philharmonic.

Vintage and vinyl records, coffee, pastries, and live music.
