The Board of County Commissioners, Orange County, has approved funding recommendations for the FY26 Cultural Facilities and the Blockbuster & Special Events - The Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts Frontyard Holiday Festival. This approval means that funding is now set for cultural facilities and a specific holiday event at the Dr. Phillips Center. The project involves the planning and execution of the Frontyard Holiday Festival, which will likely include site preparation, event setup, entertainment, and potentially temporary structures or decorations. Following this approval, the next steps would involve detailed planning, vendor selection, and permit acquisition for the event. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as event management, temporary structure rental, audiovisual services, and general event support can explore opportunities by connecting with the Arts and Cultural Affairs Office or the Dr. Phillips Center as planning progresses. Early engagement can provide a competitive advantage as specific needs and timelines are finalized.
