The HEART
will be done Fall, 2024!
We are dedicated to engaging our residents with meaningful public art, and we’re proud to announce our community’s new centerpiece — the HEART. This soaring, fanciful shape will stand 73 feet tall, with a reflective stainless steel surface capturing Florida’s beautiful skies by day — and dramatic illumination by night. Poised brilliantly upon a circular pedestal at the intersection of Discovery Way and Village Parkway, it’s sure to draw attention. Residents can even climb inside the installation and emerge onto a glass bridge connecting both sides of the HEART. This feature puts residents high above ground for far-reaching views, and is sure to inspire many sharable photographs, videos and memories here in Tradition. Now under construction in JEFRË’s Orlando studio, the HEART is (quite appropriately) scheduled for public dedication in Tradition Fall, 2024.
About JEFRË, creator of the HEART
JEFRË is a Filipino-American multimedia artist, born as Jefre Figueras Manuel, whose evocative large-scale works grace prominent public spaces around Orlando, Philadelphia, Manila and beyond. His innovative works have been recognized by numerous publications, societies and galleries and he recently concluded his first solo museum exhibition, “Points of Connection,” at the Orlando Museum of Art.
STARS and STRIPES
is in the planning stages!
Tradition has proposed an ambitious new amenity within the community. Stars And Stripes Park will be an open-air destination for residents on foot, on bikes, in cars or using the free TIM shuttle service. The entire park is decorated with flowers and pathways, with open field and pond areas providing scenic views. One area is brightly decorated with a patriotic art installation featuring colors that gleam by day and shine from within by night. This is sure to be a prime spot for selfies, but the sobering messages written on the points of the glowing metal “stars” are something to read and reflect upon. A flower-lined walkway connects this area to the parking lot and through an interesting treeline of bamboo. Passing this, residents will emerge near a huge model of the solar system. This display consists of a huge, gyroscopic sun and the concentric orbits of each planet — from nearby Mercury to distant Pluto, with plaques for each. The sun, and each planet, will also be colorfully lit at night.

Tradition Town Center
The Town Center, located in Tradition Square, is the heart of Tradition. Here, the community comes together, gathering for fun events, live music, and more, for moments filled with the simple joy of being around friends and making lifelong memories.
The Town Center creates a natural community hub for residents to meet and socialize, where events like a weekly farmers market invite one and all to gather.
Workshops and classes, held in the Town Hall, introduce new hobbies and exciting activities to residents, where they can begin new traditions with neighbors, family, and friends.
An adjacent amphitheater brings an entertainment venue to Tradition for year-round community enjoyment of performances such as concerts, theater, dance, comedy, and more.
