🤠
Over ten years of events, Milk Mart has hosted thousands of artists, chefs, makers, and small businesses, and welcomed hundreds of thousands of guests to its quarterly street party. Our mission is to give small and local creators a place to showcase their work and connect with their audience, and to give the public an accessible, free community event where they can discover and be a part of the culture of Orlando.
Shopping small impacts the community in a big way. Choosing to spend your dollar with a local businesses dictates and encourages the spaces around us. It's up to all of us to show them they're wanted, and give them the encouragement and business they need to thrive. Support the kind of place you want to live in; when we show up for our local scene, we create the culture for ourselves and others!
The infamous, the fearless, the incredible Moo Crew! Best known by vendors as the team that keeps the wheels moving day-of, and by guests as the magic behind the scenes, we'd like to give you a chance to get to know them.
