The countdown to 2022 is on!

We’re just days away from celebrating the end of 2021 and diving headfirst into the New Year, but first, we’re winding the clock back to explore some of the best events to take place in the City Beautiful this November. Here are all the highlights, just in case you missed it!

Outdoor fun and family activities drew thousands of Central Floridians to Lake Eola from November 6th-7th for Fiesta in the Park! Now in its 50th year of existence, Fiesta in the Park is the largest arts & crafts festival event series in Orlando. While live entertainment at the Walt Disney Amphitheater was a highlight of the free event series, the real stars of the show were the hundreds of artists and crafters that came from all over the United States to display and sell their original work. Spanning the entire walkway of Lake Eola, the fiesta proved to also be the perfect opportunity to obtain one-of-a-kind gifts for the holidays.

Following last year’s record-breaking festival, Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) returned to Orlando for its 25 anniversary celebration with the best in electronic dance music, full-size carnival rides, performers, and unforgettable art. From November 12th-14th, EDC featured scores of the world’s top dance-music artists alongside plenty of fun-filled festivities on stages that represented a distinct union of technology and nature. From the stage decor and sound to the pyrotechnics and performers, many unique elements go into bringing the world of EDC to life and the 2021 show was no different.

Now in its thirty-fifth year, The Festival of Trees transformed the Orlando Museum of Art into a glittering wonderland filled with sparkling trees, vignettes, and stunning décor for visitors of all ages. From November 13th-21st, the museum showcased designer Christmas trees of all sizes, holiday vignettes, custom hand designed wreaths and table décor, a gingerbread village, tabletop displays and much more. Made possible by Council of 101 and designed to the theme “Sparkling Holiday Traditions”, each of the designer trees showcased the stylings of Orlando’s finest artists. The 9-day event kicked off with a glamorous gala and the festival fun continued with daily musical performances, family-friendly entertainment and delightful programs for all ages throughout the week. Each piece was available for purchase with all proceeds benefiting the Orlando Museum of Art.

On November 13th, more than 3,000 beer lovers came together to experience unlimited tastings of craft and premium beers from local breweries and around the world at the 6th Annual Orlando Beer Festival. Located in Festival Park, attendees of the festival also enjoyed a wine tasting experience, beer pairing demonstrations, a complementary photobooth, tasty eats from the Food Truck Court and live music to keep the party going all afternoon! VIP ticketholders enjoyed a wide range of added benefits including early entry to beer tastings, commemorative gifts, exclusive food samplings and much more. Proceeds from the event benefited the Central Florida Brewer’s Guild.

Taking place Thanksgiving weekend and inviting attendees to discover the world around them, FusionFest 2021 is one of Downtown Orlando’s most unique cultural celebrations. In addition to a cornucopia of dishes from around the world, the two-day event featured interactive experiences and contests celebrating fashion, music, dance, short films and more, all designed to honor each person’s heritage while exploring how we influence each other and create our own unique identity. Representing 160 different heritages, FusionFest 2021 was free to attend with food, beverages and merchandise all available for purchase as attendees celebrated diversity, inclusion and collaboration in Central Florida.

November was the last month to enjoy the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival so hopefully you managed to get your visit in! Presented by CORKCICLE, the festival invited theme park visitors to take a fun and flavorful taste tour journey across six continents. It was truly a delicious celebration filled with global marketplaces, live entertainment and more. From amazing performances like Voices of Liberty, Mariachi Cobre and the Jammin’ Chefs to entire menus of family fun like Remy’s Ratatouilleinspired scavenger hunt and Emile’s Fromage Montage, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
