Subject: Authorization to conduct a Community Market on a permanent Basis in conjunction
with the Food Truck Friday Event & Movie in the Park Event.
Background Summary:
The City Commission previously approved at its April 15, 2014 meeting the conducting of a Community Market
on a three (3) month trial basis. The Parks and Recreation Department is requesting authorization to continue
with the Community Market on a permanent basis, in conjunction with its Food Truck Friday event and Movie in
the Park event, on the third Friday of every month. The purpose of the market it to provide entrepreneurial
opportunities to local artists and craftsmen, promote a greater sense of community by allowing local artist to sell
directly to the public, and to encourage and promote the production of quality, handmade arts and crafts. The
focus of the market will be on providing handmade goods and products for the home; the market will not include
the sale of produce or food items.
The Parks and Recreation Department will continue to work with a third party, Create Orlando, to manage the
market. The market manager will be responsible for the planning and promoting of the market, recruiting
vendors, handling all vendor related matters, and day -of coordination. The City will receive a percentage (20 %)
of the fees that are collected by the market manager from the vendors participating in the market. The market
manager will be on site for the duration of the event, including set -up and break down of the vendor area. The
market manager will also work to expand the market in the future to include live music, storytellers, face
painters, balloon artist and other activities as part of the event.
The Parks and Recreation Department is recommending that the City Commission approve the Community
Market as a permanent feature of the Food Truck Friday event.
