Orlando — Concerts outside, seated in private pods, with food delivered to your seat from local restaurants — the Frontyard Festival has been such at hit at Downtown Orlando’s Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts that it will remain for the next few months. Originally slated to end as the pandemic wound down, the program will instead not only continue: It’s getting bigger. More pods will be added to seat a total of 4,500 guests thanks to $500,000 given through the Board of County Commissioners.

All kinds of shows and events are on the schedule already. Here’s a sampling.
