September is here! And with the lazy days of
summer behind us, we’re gearing up for a busy month of exciting experiences and
fan favorite events on I-Drive!
If you’ll be on I-Drive this month, be sure to
check out these upcoming events for an epic trip to International Drive.
1. SeaWorld Orlando’s Craft Beer Festival: Now with a new twist!
If you’re visiting I-Drive, you’ve probably
already got at least one visit to SeaWorld Orlando in the itinerary. Whether
you’re immersing yourself in the mysteries of the sea through up-close animal
discoveries, amazing attractions for every kind of thrill seeker, mingling with
the dolphins, or feeding sea lions their lunch… a trip to SeaWorld is always
sure to take vacation adventures and make them lifelong memories.
If you’ll be visiting SeaWorld Orlando between
now and September 19th, attending their
Craft Beer Festival is a must! Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, plus Labor Day, enjoy a festival
that features over 100 craft brews, wines, seltzers, and cocktails alongside
festive entertainment that will keep the party going throughout your entire
visit.
But, this year, you can enhance your
Craft
Beer Festival experience by attending one of their exclusive craft beer dinners!
Featuring seventeen favorite Florida local and
national breweries and distilleries, attendees will enjoy a welcome reception
with specialty craft beverages and small bites, followed by a signature
four-course dinner complemented with brewery-selected beers and spirits, and
even interactive beer talks throughout
the evening. The dinner series will take place in the private Reef Room at
Sharks Underwater Grill, and is the perfect festival for both “craft-beer connoisseurs”
and the “craft-brew curious” fan, so be sure to get information about this new
exclusive
dinner series event before your visit.
