Interested in cows, jazz or Shakespeare?

Looking for something different to do? Besides the theme parks in Orlando, there are other events to check out this spring.

In April, the Orlando-UCF Shakespeare festival is held at the one of the downtown theaters in Orlando. A mix of professional actors and students from the University of Florida, the troop performs a play written by the Bard. The shows are incredibly affordable-the most expensive ticket is $35.00, and there are special discount shows.

For entertainment that has been around Orlando before Mickey Mouse, attend the Central Florida Fair. Held in the last weeks of April each year, they boast 100 rides on the midway, food and craft competitions, and the livestock show. Their website address: www.centralfloridafair.com.

Just south of Orlando in Kissimmee, a Jazz Fest is held in every year in April. It features professional and amateur jazz performers at Lakefront Park.

Enjoy!
