Battle of the Bands
The Marching "100" vs. the Marching Wildcats. The show before the show.
The Florida Classic Greek Picnic is Classic Weekend's day party and block party in Downtown Orlando. The whole street shuts down: seven bars, one block, one crowd. Rattlers, Wildcats, Greeks, HBCU alumni and everybody who came to Orlando for the weekend, outside under the lights from 5 to 10.
Nonstop sets from gates to last call. HBCU energy, Southern rap, afrobeats, R&B, and the throwbacks you still know every word to.
The street is closed to traffic and open to you. Hop between Wall Street's bars and patios with one wristband.
Pull up with the crew. Reserved tables, bottle service and skip-the-line entry. Call to lock in a section.
Kickoff is 3:30 at Camping World Stadium. Gates open at 5. Leave the game, head downtown, keep it going.
Every November, Florida A&M University and Bethune-Cookman University bring the whole state to Orlando for the Florida Blue Florida Classic. It's the biggest football game between two HBCUs in the country, and Classic Weekend is way more than football: Battle of the Bands, tailgates, Greek events, and the day party that closes out Saturday night.

FAMU vs. B-CU, meeting number 81. FanFest tailgate outside, Disney halftime show inside.
Straight from the stadium to the street. The block party that closes out Classic Saturday.
The Venue
Wall Street Plaza is a whole block of bars and patios in the heart of Downtown Orlando. On weekend nights the street gets closed off and the entire plaza becomes one open-air party. Thirty years in, it's still where Orlando goes to be outside.
