Art², is a new kind of park celebrating Orlando’s creative energy and supporting the city’s vision of becoming “An Awesome Outdoor City.” A new outdoor space is now open in Downtown Orlando, Art² Park located on the corner of Orange Avenue and Robinson Street is an 'urban pocket park' including a two-story container building that includes various food and drink options, a performance space, covered seating, two rotating food trucks, and more. À La Cart - a local food park organization is in charge of operations at Art², with the space now home to some of our city's beloved small businesses, like Phat Ash Bakes  and Red Panda Noodle , and newer concepts like Eighty Twenty burgers through the Culinary Collective. Art² will be hosting a ton of events throughout the year. During a typical day, park visitors will enjoy an upbeat and positive vibe from the background music and digital art on the large LED screens. The kind of vibe that will keep your foot tapping to the beat while you’re having a networking meeting or during a peaceful break from the office in the fresh air, enjoying lunch. When you visit the new park, you gotta check out the Urban Mirage 1 mural which blends bold cubist shapes, tropical hues, and detailed imagery from Florida’s natural landscape. A key focal point is a depth-filled perspective scene inspired by a real photo of downtown Orlando’s skyline. Swans and paddle boats, familiar sights on Lake Eola Park, have been added to reflect the city's local identity and to invite viewers into the scene. The design uses 3D illusions, gradients, and shadowing to create a visual portal that draws visitors in - perfect for exploration, inspiration, and Instagram-worthy moments. Funded by the City of Orlando's Community Redevelopment Agency, Art² is all about celebrating Orlando's artistic energy and building on the vision of an "Awesome Outdoor City" as outlined in the DTO Action Plan, a bigger effort to reimagine downtown's core.

Hailing from Memphis, the Band Camino play an appealing blend of uplifting indie rock and lush, romantic electro-pop. Behind independently released singles like the bright "2/14" and the soaring piano ballad "The Black and White," they became a major streaming success in the latter half of the 2010s, forging a path to their eponymous 2021 full-length debut on Elektra Records. It made the Heatseekers Top Ten and the group spent the next two years touring, before returning with their 2023 follow-up album The Dark, this time topping that same chart. An EP, Bruises, arrived in 2024. Friends since their high school days, Jeffrey Jordan (vocals, guitar), Spencer Stewart (vocals, guitar), Graham Rowell (bass), and Andrew Isbell (drums) formed the Band Camino in 2015 while attending the University of Memphis. Taking influence from acts like the Killers, Walk the Moon, and Colony House as well as from the culturally rich heritage of their hometown, they self-released their debut EP, My Thoughts on You, in 2016 and found significant streaming success with both the dreamy title cut and the uplifting pop single "2/14." A second EP, Heaven, followed in 2017, around which time Isbell left the group, eventually replaced by Garrison Burgess. Basing themselves out of Nashville, the Band Camino continued their upward ascent, notching big streaming numbers with 2018 singles like "Less Than I Do" and "Know Me." After signing a major-label deal with Elektra, the group issued the tryhard EP in 2019. Rowell left the band in April 2020 following sexual misconduct allegations, and the group slimmed down to a trio with Burgess taking over on bass. Ramping up to their next release with a series of singles, the Band Camino returned in September 2021 with their eponymous debut full-length, which made it to number five on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. Throughout the front half of 2023, the group delivered a string of singles including the hard-hitting "Told You So" and "See You Later." These songs, along with "What Am I Missing?," anchored the Band Camino's sophomore LP, The Dark, which was released by Elektra in August of that year. Improving on the success of their debut, The Dark topped the Heatseekers chart and made it to 112 on the Billboard 200. The band returned in the front half of 2024 with a three-song EP, Bruises, which included the glowing single "Nostalgia." ~ Timothy Monger Looking for fun events and things to do in Central Florida?
