Grill masters to share samples at Wekiva Island in support of local organizations. Grill master? Big Green Egg enthusiast? Simply looking for some great food and beautiful weather? There’s only one place to be on Nov. 1—Central Florida Fall EggFest at Wekiva Island. The event is a celebration of all things related to the Big Green Egg grill. Egg lovers, known as eggheads, can showcase all their tips and tricks. Lucky attendees get to taste the results, learn some tricks of their own, and maybe even become an egghead themselves. This is the 11th year for the event, which will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. The event is rain or shine, and the Island will be closed to all but ticketholders during that time. “With fall weather and this incredible riverside location, Central Florida Fall EggFest is always one of our favorite events of the year,” said Peter Weller, event organizer. “A day like this just screams for grilling, and there’s no grill like the Big Green Egg.”  Those who do plan to fall in love with the Big Green Egg can score great deals on the eggs used to cook during the event. These can be purchased in advance on the event’s website or at any of the three Sanford Ace Hardware stores.   Egghead hopefuls can enjoy presentations from Ron Dimpflmaier and The BBQ Nerds. Jason Alan will perform live music. There will also be tickets available for great giveaways.   Proceeds for the event benefit Keep Seminole Beautiful and the Wekiva Wilderness Trust to keep the river and community clean.  For more information or to purchase tickets, visit centralfloridafalleggfest.com .   For more information about Wekiva Island, visit wekivaisland.com .

Bert Kreischer brings his latest tour, the “Permission To Party” tour to Downtown Orlando's Kia Center. Tampa comedian Bert Kreischer is on the road again, this time entertaining audiences across the country on the “Permission To Party” tour. The trek which will continue into next year, kicked off on September 18 with a show in Rockford, Illinois, at the BMO Center. Stops include Denver, Albuquerque, Indianapolis, Oklahoma City. St. Louis, Orlando, Tampa (of course!) and more. Kreischer returns to the stage at Orlando’s Kia Center on Saturday, November 1, with tickets still available! https://www.ticketmaster.com/bert-kreischer-permission-to-party-orlando-florida-11-01-2025/event/2200625A9E75165B Discover the latest entertainment news from Orlando and throughout Central Florida. Kreischer’s career has evolved from Rolling Stone Magazine’s “number one partier in the nation” to one of the top-grossing stand-up comics in the business, movie star, leading podcaster and entrepreneur. According to Forbes, Kreischer has been hailed as, “one of the best storytellers of his generation, seamlessly and sincerely sharing anecdotes about his family and fatherhood while proving that there’s a way to take his [party-boy] antics into middle age.” In 2024, Kreischer had the number six highest-grossing comedy tour worldwide, a huge accomplishment as he only toured for six months, from January to June. Following a 140-city international arena tour, Kreischer shot his sixth stand-up special in his hometown of Tampa, FL and all six shows sold out within a day. Kreischer will release his newly-awaited special, “Lucky,” airing on March 18, 2025. In March of 2023, Kreischer premiered his highly-anticipated Netflix stand-up special, “Razzle Dazzle,” the follow- up to his previous stand-up specials; “Hey Big Boy” (Netflix), “Secret Time” (Netflix), “The Machine” (Showtime/Netflix) and “Comfortably Dumb” (Showtime). “Razzle Dazzle” was a hit for the streamer, garnering critical praise and reaching their top 10 most-watched list with over 8.3M global views in its debut. Also, in 2023, Kreischer starred in and produced the Sony Pictures film, “The Machine,” based on his signature stand-up set recounting his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip. After a theatrical release, “The Machine” immediately launched into Netflix’s Global Top 10 Films list upon its premiere on-platform later that year. During the summer of 2024, Kreischer wrapped his third annual iteration of the “Fully Loaded Comedy Festival,” which hit 12 of the most iconic ballparks, arenas and amphitheaters across the country to sold-out crowds. “Fully Loaded” featured Kreischer, Dave Attell, Lewis Black, Tiffany Haddish, Shane Gillis, Nikki Glaser, Whitney Cummings and many more, including special drop-in guests like Jelly Roll and Marcus King. In October 2023, Kreischer took his festival to the sea with the “Fully Loaded at Sea Cruise.” The event sold out in only a few days and broke the long-standing record for alcohol sales previously held by Kid Rock.  In addition to being named, “one of the U.S.’ top stand-ups over the past decade,” by The Guardian, Kreischer is a world-renowned podcaster, hosting “Bertcast,” with over 600 episodes and “2 Bears, 1 Cave” with Tom Segura, which consistently charts in the top 10 comedy podcasts worldwide. Kreischer also created, hosts and produces his YouTube cooking show, “Something’s Burning,” which has earned over 45.3M views to date. On social media, Kreischer boasts impressive numbers totaling 13.4M fans across all platforms and 280M total views on his YouTube channel alone.
