Creative City Project announces the epic return of Central Florida’s signature arts event “IMMERSE 2025”, coming back for its 10th year to the heart of downtown Orlando February 21-23, 2025. IMMERSE 2025 will be held over three days from 5pm-11pm on Friday and Saturday, and daytime hours on Sunday. Presented by AdventHealth, this year’s event showcases hundreds of artists and live performances in the streets and public spaces of Downtown Orlando.

“IMMERSE is the heart of what Creative City Project is all about,” says Cole NeSmith, Founder and Artistic Director of Creative City Project. “Elevating artists to create one-of-a-kind experiences audiences can’t find anywhere else in the world. I am so grateful that we’re collaborating again with our artist partners and friends to gather our community for an epic artistic experience in Downtown Orlando."
IMMERSE 2025 attendees will journey through 10 city blocks of unexpected creative encounters, live performances and immersive art installations.
“At AdventHealth, we believe whole-person care includes the healing power of the arts,” said Gordon Wesley, vice president of the AdventHealth Heart, Lung and Vascular Institute, at AdventHealth Central Florida Division. “Engaging with the arts—whether through music, dance, or visual experiences—can lower stress hormones, foster social connections, and improve our sense of wellbeing. Each of these has been shown to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. As Central Florida’s leader in heart care, we are proud to support events like IMMERSE that bring our community together and promote holistic wellness.”
IMMERSE 2025, presented by AdventHealth, is a collaborative community project brought to life by dozens of partners and supporters. In addition, it is made possible through generous support from Orange County Arts and Cultural Affairs, the City of Orlando, and the Downtown Development Board.
