Friday, April 18th

Clean out your closet and get a cute new outfit? Uh. Maze. Drop off your clothes Thursday night and get in for $10 or bring them to the event Friday at 6:00pm and get in for $15. This is your chance to rummage, shop, and pick up free goodies and coffee. It's all happening at the 2014 Spring Swap & Shop.

At 7:30pm, the College Park Community Center's Monthly Movie Night will be showing Frozen. (Singing along to "Let it Go" discouraged...just kidding, I don't know.)

Saturday, April 19th

Also, happy Record Store Day! Park Ave CD's is celebrating with a Manchester Orchestra meet, greet, and autograph session this Saturday at 2:00pm. Also, check out other Orlando favorites, including Rock & Roll Heaven, Retro Records, and others.

Two words: pig and pint. Intrigued? Then Wall Street Plaza's Hoedown and Pig Roast this Saturday from 4:00 to 8:00pm is for you. $8 pre-order / $10 on-site gets you into the party, a pork sandwich, and two drinks (choice of Orange Blossom Pilsner or Deep Eddy flavored vodkas).

This Saturday is the 9th annual Central Florida Earth Day. From 10:00am to 6:00pm, stop by Lake Eola Park for speakers, food demonstrations, artists, vendors, animal fun, and live music.

This month's edition of Orlando Story Club follows the topic of "And then everything changed!" Catch some great stories this Saturday at 7:00pm at the Maitland Civic Center; $20. 

Sunday, April 20th

Don't forget, check out the newly expanded Orlando Farmer's Market (10:00am to 4:00pm) and the College Park Makers Market (11:00am to 3:00pm). 

It's time for another Southern Fried Sunday! This Sunday at Will's Pub (doors at 5:30pm), come listen to Fast Preacher, The Wooly Bushmen, and The People's Blues of Richmond--including a scrumptious BBQ dinner and an Easter egg hunt for shots.
