Downtown Orlando hotels see rates surge for busy weekend
Downtown Orlando hotels are now experiencing their highest rates of the year due to a busy weekend of events.
The surge in prices is primarily attributed to the convergence of Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), a Justin Timberlake concert and an Orlando Magic game, all taking place within the same timeframe — in addition to home games for Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride, as well as programming at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
These events are expected to draw large crowds, significantly increasing the demand for accommodations in the downtown area.
EDC, a major electronic dance music festival held annually at Tinker Field, is a key driver of this demand. The festival, which began in 2011, attracts about 100,000 attendees per day.
