A Program of the Downtown Arts District

About the Project

Downtown Arts District and CityArts, in collaboration with the Downtown Development Board, present the second annual Orlando Mural Festival on September 18 and 19, 2025 with a special panel discussion on September 20, 2025.

The festival launches during the 3rd Thursday event on September 18, 2025, transforming Downtown Orlando into a hub for large-scale live painting. Selected muralists will create 8x8 walls on Magnolia Avenue and 20x13 walls at various downtown locations, offering visitors a chance to watch each piece come to life. The experience is enhanced with live music and DJs, art vendors, food trucks, and additional creative activities.

The excitement continues on September 19 with more live painting, entertainment, and opportunities to explore the work in progress.

On September 20, select muralists will participate in a panel discussion to share the stories behind their work, answer questions, and offer insight into the artistic process.

Admission to all events is free.
