Orlando, Florida (May 10, 2023)– The City of Orlando continues to increase the vibrancy of downtown Orlando with the launch of “Luminary Nights on the Green” at the city’s newest park, Luminary Green, in Creative Village. This 20-minute show turns the iconic ORLANDO sign into a canvas that comes alive with projected animations and lighting to music, all while showcasing the unique and authentic features of Orlando, like nature, innovation, thrills and hospitality. The show debuts this evening, Wednesday, May 10 at dusk and will run continuously every evening until 10 pm.

“I’m so excited to unveil Luminary Nights on the Green for our community and further grow the diverse experiences our downtown has to offer,” said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. “Having this one-of-a-kind feature, you won’t find anywhere else, takes these amenities to another level, further enhancing our downtown and providing another attraction for people to come check out in addition to creative village, our new park, nearby dining and all the other great offerings we have.”
