Orange Village plans summer farmers market with new venue and Mother's Day pop-up

The Orange Village Council meeting on March 5, 2025, highlighted exciting developments for the community's summer market, set to kick off on June 14. Councilwoman Perry expressed gratitude for the collaborative efforts surrounding the market, which aims to host two events per month. A special pop-up Mother's Day market is scheduled for May 10 at the Orange Schools campus, promising a vibrant start to the season.

The council is considering a new venue for the market to enhance accessibility, as some residents faced challenges navigating the current amphitheater location. Potential sites include the soccer field or nearby parks, with discussions ongoing to finalize the best option.

In addition to market updates, the meeting touched on the upcoming Arts and Culture Committee meeting on March 6, where community members are encouraged to participate. The council also celebrated local achievements, including Ben Way, a national merit finalist from Orange Schools, recognized for his outstanding academic performance.

Looking ahead, the council is preparing for the mayor's meeting on April 30 and the next economic development committee meeting, aiming to foster community engagement and development as warmer weather approaches. The meeting concluded with a reminder of the importance of collaboration for upcoming Memorial Day events, encouraging coordination with neighboring communities.
