Nightlife in Orlando may not be the biggest priority for most, but the city – along with its several big-name theme parks – hosts an awesome range of restaurants, bars, clubs and live shows. You’ll certainly not be lacking for choice.

Both Disney and Universal promise plenty in the way of things to do after dark, including whole zones dedicated to nightlife, such as the popular CityWalk™ or the famous nightly light and firework shows over Cinderella’s Castle. Orlando’s quaint downtown area also comes alive in the evening, with a solid mix of local-style taverns, modern bars, rooftop spots and live theatre. There’s a good selection of huge nightclubs dotted around town, hosting everything from live rock bands to globetrotting EDM DJs.

    Fireworks shows only occur on special occasions in most towns and cities. But in magical Orlando, all days are unique, and dazzling fireworks displays can be seen cascading through the skies nightly. World-class theme parks such as Universal Orlando and the Magic Kingdom stage spectacular and incredible displays that light up night skies with bursts of sparkling, glittering, and glowing colours. 

    Of course, on the 4th of July and New Year’s Eve in Orlando, you’ll have many opportunities to see the night sky illuminated lavishly, with many venues featuring family-friendly activities, onsite vendors with food and drink, and synchronised sound or live music.
