Allow us to paint a picture of the excitement and energy you’ll experience at the “Islands Gone Wild Village.” We’ll start by taking a short commute to Orlando Festival Park as “Islands Gone Wild” bring the islands to your backyard. Can you hear the music, can you feel the energy?
As you enter the Village, our host Mara Ket(a fictional character) and throngs of Stilt Walkers and Carnival Dancers invite you to join the party inside. Encouraged by the live entertainment coming from the main stage, you traverse Sponsorville into the Island Style Craft Pavilions awaiting your arrival. Inside, displays of rare crafts and clothing will delight your eyes and beg at your pockets. Weave through the exhibits to the main attraction: JERK ISLAND--- Here a host of food and corporate vendors offer an enticing smorgasbord for you, our special guests. Let your senses come to life as the mouthwatering aromas entice you and tantalize your taste buds with a delightful array of delectable treats.
And talk about FUN. Let’s take you back down memory lane when, Sak Races, 3 Legged Races, Lime and Spoon, and Wheel Barrow Races was how families got together and had FUN. Children 10 and under are FREE, so allow your young ones to exercise their imaginations with vivacious folktales, and express their boundless energy through the physical activities we have planned.
