Little Bit (Winner of the 2025 Cutest Pet of Central Florida Lifestyles) wants you to make sure you mark your calendar for the 19th Annual Orlando Out of the Darkness Walk ( a powerful event to raise awareness for suicide prevention and provide a safe place for healing) Feb. 7 at Baldwin Park. Register your team at www.afsp.org/orlando

Many people’s introduction to AFSP comes through the Out of the Darkness Walks, taking place in cities nationwide. In our Community, Campus, and Overnight Walks, those affected by suicide – and those who support them – raise awareness and much-needed funds, strongly sending the message that suicide can be prevented, and that no one is alone.

The 156th Silver Spurs Rodeo, one of Osceola County’s most cherished traditions, will showcase rodeo’s eight classic events, including bull riding, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, team roping, tie-down roping, women’s breakaway roping, and steer wrestling. Fans can also enjoy performances by the iconic Siler Spurs Quadrille team (square dancing on horseback) and laugh along with the rodeo clowns who are ready to entertain.

The week-long event starts with the Silver Spurs Rodeo Parade and a one-night-only specialty event, Monster Bulls, on February 14th. The following weekend, there are four days of rodeo action at the Silver Spurs Rodeo, from Thursday, February 19th, through Sunday, February 22nd. Proceeds from ticket sales will support local area nonprofits and causes, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, The Midwife Bus, and education-related programs such as the Osceola County School District’s SMART Bus, Teacher and School-Related Employee of the Year awards, and more.

 The Alliance for the Arts is reimagining its community market experience with the launch of the Alliance Morning Artisan Market, a new monthly event held on the third Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The shift moves the Alliance’s former Wednesday night market to a vibrant Saturday morning gathering designed to bring families, artists, and the community together for a full day of creativity and connection.

The first Alliance Morning Market will take place Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, on the Alliance’s 10-acre campus at 10091 McGregor Blvd. The market will feature a curated mix of artisans and vendors, local artists, and live entertainment, creating a welcoming, festival-style atmosphere for all ages.

By moving the market to Saturdays, the Alliance is aligning it with two popular free programs already offered on campus: Free Family ArtLabs, held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., and Reel Families, Free Family Movie Screenings, beginning at noon. Together, these programs create a seamless day of activities centered on creativity, community, and family-friendly fun.

This heartwarming event is the highlight of our year where we can showcase the hard work of our clients as they “walk” down the Red Carpet. It is truly breathtaking to see! Our clients come from Orlando and surrounding communities, as well as out-of-state and even internationally. Imagine hearing a client’s story of being injured (and told they were never going to walk again) as they are progressing down a Red Carpet in front of hundreds of cheering fans. This is definitely an event you won’t want to miss!!
