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!
