One Magical Weekend (OMW) is a premier LGBTQ+ music and entertainment festival that runs concurrently with Gay Days Orlando, offering a curated experience of pool parties, circuit events, and exclusive entertainment. Heralded as one of the largest LGBTQ+ pride and music festivals globally, OMW transforms Orlando into a playground for queer revelers, attracting thousands of attendees.
The festival is renowned for its high-energy pool parties, including the signature Riptide party at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park, and the RED Carnival party. It also features late-night dance events, drag shows, comedy performances, and opportunities to connect with other LGBTQ+ travelers. The event aims to provide an immersive and unforgettable experience, blending the magic of Orlando's theme parks with a vibrant queer nightlife scene.
OMW events are primarily held at select Orlando resorts and entertainment venues, often coinciding with Gay Days. The host hotel for OMW is typically the Sheraton Lake Buena Vista Resort. Given Orlando's reliance on car travel, rideshares are the most convenient way to access venues. Booking accommodation and event packages well in advance is crucial due to high demand.
