Fritay on a fall Sunday
GOUTÉ was first set for Oct. 11. It now lands on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026, still from 1 to 10 p.m. and still at Wall Street Plaza, 25 Wall Street in Downtown Orlando.
Billed as Orlando’s Haitian Fritay Festival, it’s organized by The ExeQtives as an outdoor celebration of Haitian food, music, and community: fritay on the plates, kompa and zouk in the air, vendors and flags in the plaza.
What’s on the plate — and in the air
If you don’t already know the word, fritay is the Haitian fried-food universe people chase for a reason. The Eventbrite listing calls out griot, bannann peze, pikliz, tassot, accra, pâté, fried chicken, and other Haitian specialties from participating vendors. The music lanes named in the same listing: kompa, zouk, gouyad, raboday, afrobeats, Caribbean favorites, DJs, and special guests, with DJ Xclusive City listed as a performer. You don’t have to be Haitian to show up; you do have to be ready to eat and stay awhile.
The ticket math
The free-before-3 RSVP that made this an easy yes is sold out on Eventbrite, and so is the early-bird tier. What’s left: adult general admission at $20, a 2-for-1 adult pair at $15, kids 9–17 at $5, and VIP Express Line at $40, each plus Eventbrite fees. Kids 8 and under get in free with a ticketed adult. Sales are listed as no-refund, and the organizer says the event will reach capacity, so buy before you head downtown.
Food and drinks are generally not included with admission; you pay vendors and plaza spots as you go.
Park, pay vendors, stay awhile
Downtown parking (garages, lots, meters) is paid, and the listing encourages rideshare. Haitian red and blue is encouraged, and it’s outdoors, so dress for the weather. Vendor names were still to be announced on the listing, so check Eventbrite the week of for the latest.
This is a Downtown Orlando Sunday that smells like pikliz and sounds like kompa. Grab a ticket, eat before you dance — or dance, then eat again. That’s the assignment.
Why We’re Hyped
- Fritay as the center of gravity — not a generic “international food booths” fest with Haitian as a footnote.
- A second shot for anyone who had Oct. 11 circled: same plaza, same 1–10 p.m. window.
- Downtown outdoor stage at Wall Street Plaza — walkable nightlife without needing a theme-park ticket.
- All-ages cultural Sunday with free entry for kids 8 and under.
