Orlando Get ready to be amazed! IMMERSE presented by AdventHealth is here!  From live performances to interactive art installations, there’s something for everyone at @immersfest in Orlando this weekend. Don’t miss out!

Last night we attended the tech rehearsal. Here are some of the highlights during our visit.

Merita Bread Neon Sign. Through a collaboration between The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art and the Creative City Project, the completely restored neon Merita sign that once towered over I-4 is  being displayed for IMMERSE 2025!  This 48-foot-long sign is on view on the 30 South Orange lot for 60 days, as a part of both IMMERSE 2025 and DTO Live!  

The iconic local Merita Bread neon sign adds a touch of retro nostalgia at IMMERSE this year.  And, yes, is scented . Photo by Orlando Staff

Dream Slide is a glowing unicorn that is larger than life. A journey into dreams and out the other side, this installation is a slide that runs down the unicorn’s glowing mane.

Mariposa is a 26-foot wide butterfly sculpture with over 39,000 full-color LEDs, hanging overhead.  A porch swing allows visitors to flap its wings while the LEDs display dazzling animations choreographed to classical music.
