An art show that skips the gallery hush
The Pancakes & Booze Art Show is back at The Abbey on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 7 to 11 p.m. The pitch is the opposite of a quiet white-wall gallery: a packed room of local art, a griddle going all night, and a DJ booth.
The organizer’s Eventbrite listing puts more than 80 local artists in the room with 300-plus original pieces, with the artists selling their own work. Add live body painting, local DJs and music producers, a full bar, and unlimited free pancakes, and you have one of the more unusual Saturday nights downtown.
Buy by Friday for the lower price
Online advance tickets are $15 plus fees, which comes to $17.83 at checkout with fees and tax, and they’re on sale through Friday, Oct. 2. On Saturday the price is $23. All sales are final.
One thing to plan around: a ticket does not guarantee immediate entry. The organizer says entry is first come, first served based on venue capacity, whether you bought online or at the door. The organizer calls it a popular event and recommends arriving early to avoid a wait.
The organizer also says the art stays on display until midnight, so a later arrival still gets you time on the walls.
A touring show with a local roster
Pancakes & Booze started in Los Angeles in 2009 and has popped up more than 500 times in 40-plus cities across North America and Europe. The Orlando stop is all about the local roster: emerging artists selling their own work in one dense, high-energy room for a single night.
Build a Saturday around it
Same night, earlier: Once Upon a Halloween in Ivanhoe Village runs 5–9 p.m., so you can do the potion walk first and head south to The Abbey after. Want an afternoon start? Return to Joyland at Ivanhoe Park Brewing pours from noon to 4.
Why We’re Hyped
It’s a night out where the art is the main event: 80-plus local artists, live body painting, and DJs, plus free pancakes. The $15 advance price makes it an easy add to a big Saturday downtown.
