IMMERSE Experience Festival, a free epic performing and visual arts festival, returns to Downtown Orlando this weekend, February 20-22, 2026, and here’s what you need to know about it.

Presented by AdventHealth, IMMERSE celebrates its 11th year by transforming 10 city blocks into a vibrant, multi-sensory arts playground – inviting the community to reconnect and experience the powerful role art plays in overall well-being.

Headliner performances during the weekend will include sets by Blue Man Group (who will soon open a new theater at ICON Park), Orlando Vocal Collective, MESH: The Signal (A 360-degree immersive theatrical dance phenomenon), Cirque du Soleil, Central Florida Community Arts, The REN, Phantasmagoria, and more.

AdventHealth, the presenting sponsor of IMMERSE 2026, has added some extra fun to the festival. Their Art of the Heart installation in front of City Hall also includes an interactive digital art wall to reflect on what makes your heart feel whole.

There will also be other visual arts exhibits including Architects Of Air’s ‘Arborialis’ at Seneff Arts Plaza.

“IMMERSE is the heart of what Creative City Project is all about,” said Cole NeSmith, Founder and Artistic Director of Creative City Project, which is the Orlando company behind the event.
