Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining is returning Aug. 16 through Sept. 30, and with it comes a spotlight on Winter Park’s diverse dining choices. Presented by Orlando Health, the annual event is celebrating its 19th year of bringing Central Florida’s culinary community together for a good cause.
This year’s program offers a record number of options with a list of 150 participants that includes 25 first-timers. The two-tier pricing system, introduced in 2023, features three-course prix-fixe menus divided into $40 and $60 categories. One dollar from each $40 menu and two dollars from each $60 menu will benefit event partner, The Mustard Seed of Central Florida.
As the region’s only furniture and clothing bank, The Mustard Seed serves more than 3,000 victims of disaster or personal tragedy. Event proceeds will enhance its ability to supply gently used items that help families and individuals make a fresh start. Visit Orlando will also award a $3,000 donation to one local nonprofit in each of Orange County’s six commission districts that offers similar support.
