We are anticipating an amazing April on I-Drive!
Festivities
During the month of April two of our most popular festivals will
be coming to an end, so if you haven’t already had a chance to be a part of the
festivities, you still have time!
This year’s
Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras will be ending on April 7th. Grab your
family and friends and come enjoy this authentic New Orleans celebration where
you will be dazzled by outrageous street performers, colorful costumes and
countless beads. While you’re there be sure to indulge in some mouthwatering
Cajun food and of course get your groove on to some authentic New Orleans
music.
Another festival that will be closing-up
shop for this year is
SeaWorld’s Seven Seas Festival. Take your taste buds on
a trip around the world as you stroll through this festival and sample dishes
from around the world that were crafted using organic ingredients, cage-free
eggs, regional produce and sustainable seafood. With over 70 beers and 50 wines
to choose from, and live performances running through the last day of the
festival which has been extended to April 29th - delicious food, top beverage choices, and
live music will prove to create the perfect mix. The remaining performances
that will be taking place at this festival before its final day include: El
Gran Combo on April 1, Yandel on April 7, Jerry Rivera
on April 8 and N'Klabe on April 15 (Remaining weekend concerts to be announced. Make sure to check the
event listing for updates).
Just a taste
If you have ever been to
ICON Park, you know that this
dining and entertainment complex, covering 18 acres of land, is full of
experiences; from attractions, a museum, a plethora of full service restaurants
and two nightclubs to video arcade games and nightly live entertainment! Taste
at ICON Park took place on April 8th, 2018 and benefited the
Florida Hospital Esophageal Cancer Program. Esophageal cancer is one of the
fastest growing cancers in the United States and the work of Florida Hospital
Cancer Institute continues to help in both the treatment and prevention of this
diagnosis.
Contribute to a great cause, while seizing the opportunity to
try samplings of food from a unique line-up of restaurants and enjoy some great
entertainment.
But a trip to
ICON Park just would not be
complete without a ride on the iconic
The Wheel at ICON Park! If you’re a Florida resident, take advantage of specials and to book your ticket,
