The Best Events in Orlando in July 2025

Orlando is always buzzing in the summer, but July 2025 is especially packed with fun. Whether you are traveling with family, friends, or just looking for a great getaway, there are plenty of events that make Orlando the place to be this month. From glowing water parks to concerts, fireworks, parades, and world-class sports, here are the best events happening in Orlando in July.

Disney H2O Glow After Hours

Disney knows how to do summer right and the H2O Glow After Hours event at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is one of the best ways to beat the heat. On select nights throughout the summer, Typhoon Lagoon transforms into a glowing nighttime water park. The rides stay open with much shorter wait times, and the entire park lights up with neon colors, special lighting effects, and upbeat music that turns the whole experience into a nighttime beach party.

This is a great option for families who want to enjoy the park without the usual daytime crowds or for couples looking for a fun and different nighttime activity.

Fourth of July Celebrations in Orlando

Orlando takes Independence Day celebrations to another level, and there are several events across the area to check out.

Sunset Walk Orlando is hosting its Fourth of July Star Spangled Celebration starring DFALC The Legends Tour 2025. This event is packed with live music, DJs, food, drinks, and more. DFALC will perform live along with special guest DJ Scotty B and the DFALC Guitar Army and Promenade. The night wraps up with the Sunset Walk Independence Day Fireworks Spectacular that lights up the sky in true Orlando fashion.

Another great option is Red, White and BOOM at LEGOLAND Florida Resort. LEGOLAND creates a fun and family-friendly atmosphere with patriotic LEGO-themed activities, live entertainment, and a fireworks show that features special 3D glasses to give the fireworks a LEGO brick effect. It is a fun way for families with younger kids to celebrate the holiday.

21st Annual All American Kids Parade

For a more small-town experience, the 21st Annual All-American Kids Parade in Winter Garden is a must-see. This local tradition is hosted by the Winter Garden Masonic Lodge No. 165 and supported by the City of Winter Garden. Kids and adults alike are encouraged to dress in red, white, and blue and walk, bike, or scooter through the historic downtown area. Some bring wagons and strollers decorated with flags and streamers, creating a true hometown parade feel.

The day kicks off with a free pancake breakfast for kids and continues with family-friendly activities, music, and plenty of opportunities to connect with the community. It is a laid-back event that gives you a break from the usual big crowds while still celebrating the holiday in a festive way.

FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Quarter Finals

Sports fans will not want to miss the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Quarter Finals coming to Camping World Stadium in downtown Orlando. This is the first time the tournament will be held in the United States, and Orlando is one of the key host cities. The quarter final matches will bring some of the best club soccer teams from around the world to compete right in the heart of the city.

This event is a huge draw for international visitors and locals alike. The atmosphere will be electric, with fans from all over the world filling the stadium and the surrounding area with excitement. Whether you are a die-hard soccer fan or just looking to experience something unique, the FIFA Club World Cup is a major highlight in Orlando this July.
