Orlando in June: A Guide to Weather & Things to Do

This spring festival features elaborate topiaries of Disney characters, themed gardens, outdoor kitchens, and weekend concerts. Weather is usually warm but not yet peak-summer humid, especially in March and April. Weekends draw local visitors, so plan EPCOT weekdays if possible. Concert seating is first-come; arrive early for popular bands.

Gay Days is one of the world’s largest LGBTQ+ vacation gatherings, with themed pool parties at a host hotel, a large expo, and informal meetups at Disney parks such as Red Shirt Day at Magic Kingdom. The atmosphere is celebratory yet generally friendly for all visitors. Rooms at host properties and nearby resorts book early, and certain park days feel noticeably busier.

Orlando’s official Juneteenth program includes readings of the Emancipation Proclamation, gospel and R&B performances, food trucks, and educational activities, typically capped with evening fireworks.

This early-summer edition of the Central Florida Fair offers midway rides, carnival games, live music, and livestock displays.

Expect hot temperatures and plan for paid on-site parking and queue times for popular rides.

Teams race long dragon boats on Turkey Lake at Bill Frederick Park, accompanied by Asian cultural performances and food vendors. It is mainly a spectator and participant event rather than a large festival, but lakeside viewing areas do fill. Parking is available within the park, and admission for viewers is typically free. Sun and heat are strong, so shade and water are important.

The Orlando Pride women’s soccer club opens Pride Month with a themed home game at Exploria Stadium, featuring rainbow elements, community recognitions, and pre-game fan activities. It suits sports fans and visitors seeking an inclusive atmosphere. Normal match-day security and bag policies apply.

Seminole State College’s Emil Buehler Planetarium marks the longest day with solar viewing, talks on solstice science, and night-sky observing through telescopes. It is suitable for families with school-age children and astronomy enthusiasts. Seating in the planetarium is limited and some programs may require tickets, so checking the schedule and arriving early is advised.
