FusionFest virtual

If you’re not ready to be at the festival in person, FusionFest is debuting the all-new online experience “The Virtual World“.

The virtual experience takes place on Friday, November 27 from 4pm-8pm inside the software platform Topia. Similar to Zoom, Topia is a unique way to connect virtually using video chat and a digitally drawn map space created with local artists’ illustrations.

The design will represent Orlando and the fusion of heritages celebrated every year at FusionFest. Each attendee will have an avatar to walk around the map, with the option of stopping to engage with each other and various activities spread throughout.
