Hi, friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.
This weekend is setting up to be one packed with big events happening throughout Central Florida, including downtown Orlando’s IMMERSE festival kicking off.
And you know what’s even better? The fact that cooler weather is HERE.
So while most of these events are outdoors, at least we won’t be dealing with the heat we had last week.
Get ready! Here’s what’s happening ⤵️
Over 70 bands will take over downtown Sanford, filling the air with music ranging from classical to indie to Americana and blues 🪕.
Eighteen porches will serve as a stage for the bands as Sanford Porchfest returns this Saturday.
This year’s event is featuring new VIP tickets that include an exclusive lounge area, special performances and more.
