☀️ Speaking of the sun, did you know it will no longer set past 8 p.m. for the rest of the year? Meaning fall is just around the corner and summer is ending? Clearly, I’m dealing with it well. Summer is my favorite time of year and this year’s was another great one.
Sigh.
Well, as we cherish the remaining days of summer, there’s no better time to get out there and enjoy the outdoors.
Let’s get into it ⤵️
Acrobatic performances, live music and costumes are bringing the circus to life this weekend during a special orchestral event in downtown Orlando.
🎪 “The Carnival - Where Orchestra meets Circus” is coming to the historic Cheyenne Saloon and Opera House for a total of six performances.
Event organizers describe the show as “a journey into self-discovery and the complexity of what it means to be alive.”
The immersive experience is a collaboration with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra that will feature music from French composer Camille Saint-Saëns’ “The Carnival of the Animals.”
