This Sunday seems to be the day for outdoor festivals in Orlando. In addition to the one I posted about yesterday, here’s another one that will take place downtown.
This one seems to be more of a music fest, with live music from a variety of artists. It takes place on Pine Street, between Orange Ave and Court Ave.
It runs from noon to 10pm, and costs $10 at the gate. Here’s a flyer with all the details:
How’s this for a Sunday of fun: food, live music, a pin-up contest, more food, a car wash, a vintage car show, more live music and an after-hours burlesque show?
What if I told you all this would not only be $10, but proceeds from the day would benefit the Mustard Seed of Central Florida?
Then you’ll want to be at the Southern Fried Sunday Annual B-Day Benefit on July 17, 2011.
