Although downtown Orlando’s Parramore District is one of the newest members of the Orlando Main Street program, it’s also one of the most historic. It preserves and celebrates the more than 140-year-old Parramore neighborhood while bringing awareness to the rich, deeply rooted culture of Orlando’s African American community.

One of the best ways to explore the district’s robust history is by visiting the Wells’Built Museum of African American History and Culture, constructed in 1921 by Dr. William M. Wells. Originally serving as a hotel for Black travelers in the then-segregated South, including many famous musicians, the Wells’Built now houses memorabilia of Orlando’s African American community, displays of the Civil Rights movement, and African art and artifacts.

Adjacent to downtown Orlando, Ivanhoe Village Main Street has something for just about everyone, including historic homes, acclaimed dining, cultural venues, specialty shopping and funky street art.

Orlando is one of several U.S. cities with a College Park area. But whereas most are designated as such because they’re close to a college, ours derives from the fact that many of its streets are named after famous colleges. While you’re there, see if you can find your own alma mater.

Learn more: College Park Main Street

The college-named streets are not the only quirky aspect about this traditional, walkable, neighborhood commercial district, which pairs a hometown, close-knit community feel with superb dining, shopping and cultural opportunities, just 10 minutes from downtown Orlando. Famed author Jack Kerouac liked the area so much that he started writing The Dharma Bums while living in College Park from 1957 to 1958, which is the same period during which On the Road was published. Today, the historic home gives burgeoning writers a place to live and hone their craft as part of The Kerouac Project.

College Park has much for shoppers, too, including one-of-a-kind finds at Driftwood Market, Bijou’s Boutique and Ritzy Rags. You’ll also find everything you need for bicycling at Orange Cycle, hip music and clothing at Foundation, handcrafted bath and body products at Naked Bar Soap Co., and even cosplay gear at Embellish FX.

Curry Ford West is one of our Market Streets, a sub-designation of the Orlando Main Streets program. It is set apart from other districts with its distinct, mid-century modern-inspired design and architecture, and commitment to being a truly family-friendly neighborhood focused on embracing the deep community roots. In fact, many families have lived in the neighborhood for multiple generations. Running along Curry Ford Road, the district is about 15 minutes from the city’s core and a short walk or bike ride from beautiful Lake Underhill Park.

You’ll find a vast collection of beer in Curry Ford West — both locally brewed and from around the world — at venues like Roque Pub, The Commission Beer Chamber, Claddagh Cottage Irish Pub and Hourglass Brewing.

Historic Eatonville, located about 15 minutes north of downtown Orlando, has much for art and history aficionados. Part of the Florida Main Street program, it’s one of the oldest African American municipalities in the United States, having been incorporated in 1887. No less important is that the town was the childhood home to celebrated author Zora Neale Hurston (Their Eyes Were Watching God), whose legacy continues to be felt to this day.

Hurston is honored at the Zora Neale Hurston National Museum, aka the Hurston, which serves as a memorial to its namesake and provides gallery space to artists of African descent. While donations are encouraged, admission is always free.

Eatonville also pays homage to the author with the annual Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts and Humanities, aka ZORA!® Festival. Held at locations in Eatonville and around the Orlando area, the week-long celebration focuses on the arts and education, including several events that are free to attend. The festival traditionally takes place in late January and early February.
