We have negotiated a reduced rate of just $5 (reg. $38) for parking at the resort. Space may be limited and available on a first come first served basis. We recommend carpooling or using a ride share if possible.

Meet the Bronx Barbie

Tara Cannistraci is an Italian-American comedian, actress, and writer, hailing from the vibrant streets of the Bronx, New York. Tara’s talents have lit up the stage, television, film, and even centerfield as the scoreboard host for the New York Yankees. Tara is now on her second nationwide headlining tour, The Boroughbred Tour, across the U.S. and Canada.

We are flying Tara in from New York to entertain us and help us announce the winners. You don’t want to miss The Bronx Barbie!

Who Should Come?

Many companies use this special night to reward their hard working employees.

Alcohol is being served and for other reasons, please respect our request of no kids.

What to Wear

It’s a special night and you deserve the recognition for making it as an Orlando’s Best Award Finalist. Go ahead, dress up in the best you’ve got!

Each year we see some fantastic gowns, suits, and even tuxedos. This will be a night to remember, for sure!

Special Thanks to Our Annual Sponsors

We couldn’t run these awards with a $0.00 entry fee for nominees without our generous Annual Sponsors. Note, sponsoring Orlando’s Best does not influence the final results. In other words, you cannot pay to win Orlando’s Best. These companies are simply generous and supportive of Orlando’s Best, win or not.

Please consider becoming an Orlando’s Best Annual Sponsor as well! – Login to learn more
