6. Discussion and Background
The Orange May Parade, Taste of Orange, and the Orange Plaza Rotary Club Car Show are family fun events that have been held in the springtime in and around the Old Towne Orange Plaza area for many years. Recently, all three event organizers suggested the idea of hosting a collaborated two-day event over the first weekend of May as opposed to three individual events.
Representatives from the three events would like to present the concept to the City Council, and after hearing the presentation, staff recommends the City Council direct staff on whether a production agreement for a combined event should be pursued.
Should the City Council direct staff to not move forward with a combined production agreement, then all three events will continue individually as has been done in the past.
