Where will the hipsters be celebrating October Fest? Not downtown in some Budweiser bar eating free project DTO pretzels! No ma’am. They will be going to the 6th annual Dustoberfest at Stardust Video and Coffee Sunday 4 to 8 in Audubon Park. Wear your lederhosen, eat brats and kraut, drink beer and ask multiple people when Grandma Party is this year. Someone there will know when Grandma Party is. And it’s worth knowing.
The 5th Annual Cupcake Challenge will feature ten local bakeries competing and you eating. Sunday 2 to 4:30 at the Winter Park Civic Center. Sample cupcakes and vote on your favorites. I’m going because, well, I’m a judge! All proceeds benefit Dress for Success of Greater Orlando. Tickets are not cheap so be rich or really like cupcakes.
Andrea Canney, the first person to play Belle in the Beauty and the Beast show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (hello Florida theme park showbiz history!) has a voice from Broadway. It’s ridiculous. She’s doing a do-not-miss cabaret Monday September 29th at 8 at The Abbey at 100 South Eola Drive. Tickets are cheap so I’m going.
And as always… Orlando is wonderful.
