Rockin Lake Eola

Consider it an outdoor Happy Hour to cap off a busy work week—this summer on Friday nights from 5:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando is hosting an after work outdoor party with live nationally known bands as well as local artists. The event is open to the public and visitors can enjoy an assortment of foods as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

In addition to the Rockin Lake Eola event every Friday, visitors can enjoy the Lake Eola fountain, which is finally spurting out water after being zapped out of commission by a lightning strike in August of 2009. The fountain still has an estimated $1 million worth of repairs remaining, but the City of Orlando had to get the water running first to prevent the summer heat from damaging the fountain any further.
