What's Up Downtown : A Look Into Downtown's Past

A key part of our city’s plan for strategic growth is recognizing, preserving, and celebrating our past. Join us for What’s Up Downtown on Thursday, April 7 at 9:30 a.m. to take a step back in history as we embark on a Historic Walking Tour of downtown Orlando.

The tour will conclude at the Orange County Regional History Center where you will learn about the architecture and history of the building. Following the tour, everyone is invited for a complimentary visit to see all of the exhibits.

Please be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. The tour will begin at Discover Downtown, the Downtown Orlando Information Center (201 . Orange Ave., Suite 102, Orlando, FL 32801).
