The City of Palatka is considering a special events permit for the 'Visit Palatka Summer Night Lights' event. This event is planned to take place on several dates throughout June, July, and August 2026. The permit would allow for road closures, amplified sound, and the sale of alcohol. The event is expected to feature market booth vendors including arts and farmers, music performances, food trucks, and beer and wine sales. This item is currently under review by the City Commission, with a staff recommendation for approval. If approved, the event would involve temporary road closures, setup for market booths, and coordination for food and beverage services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as event management, temporary structures, food services, and security could find opportunities by engaging early before final plans and permits are issued.
