ORLANDO, Florida -- If you see a giant plastic ball pit, it's pretty tempting to jump in, right?

Well, this weekend, you can give into your temptations and flop, flip, or slide on in a huge pit on Orange Avenue and West Pine Street. It's part of Creative City Project's IMMERSE, which is swallowing up the streets of downtown Orlando. 

IMMERSE features 1,000 artists from 100 arts organizations, "anybody from the Orlando Philharmonic and the Orlando Ballet, to artists who are just starting their career," Executive Director Cole NeSmith said. "Some of it is performances, some of it is interactive experiences like this (ball pit) right here."

If you like taking photos of yourself in exotic or themed environments, you'll want to hit up the Worlds of Corksicle.

"It's a three-story building on Jackson Street that we have transformed into 12 built worlds that people can explore and interact with and, of course, take photos in," he said.

IMMERSE 2018 offers four ticket options:

  • The IMMERSE Experience Basic Ticket (FREE) - Experience hundreds of performances
