The show repeats every 15 minutes each night from 5:30 to 10 p.m., so families can arrive whenever suits bedtime and catch a full run without tickets. On three December weekends (Dec. 4–6, 11–13 and 18–20) Heritage Square adds a small holiday market, face painters, glitter tattoos and character visits from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., and the History Center itself stays open late (5–8 p.m.) on Dec. 4–5, 11–12 and 18–19, with free museum admission and special activities during the day on Dec. 12. The square sits on the downtown 'Holiday Stroll', a route of lit trees along Magnolia Avenue that links Lake Eola Park, Heritage Square and the Dr. Phillips Center, so the projection show pairs easily with the Lake Eola tree show, Santa and the holiday train a few blocks away. ## Similar picks in Orlando - [Frontyard Holiday Festival at Dr. Phillips Center](https://grassyknees.com/orlando/activities/frontyard-holiday-festival-at-dr-phillips-center--listing-50c008156ba6292e906f20fa) — Nov 27 – Dec 31 · Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts – Frontyard · All ages · Free · checked Oct 20.
