What an incredible Saturday at Spring Fest! The energy, the conversations and the strong sense of community made it an incredible event. With more than 80 vendors on site, residents had the opportunity to connect with city and county resources, engage with community organizations and support many local small businesses.

This year’s Spring Fest also featured multiple live performances and free cheeseburgers and hot dogs grilled by the Orlando Professional Firefighters Local 1365. We’re so thankful to them for going above and beyond to help make the event so special.

We were also proud to welcome several local leaders, including:
- State Senator Smith
- State Senator Arrington
- State Representative Anna Eskamani
- Orange County Clerk of Court Tiffany Moore Russell
- Orange County Comptroller and former City of Orlando Commissioner Phil Diamond
- County Commissioner Mayra Uribe
- County Commissioner Maribel Cordero

A special note of appreciation goes to Comptroller Phil Diamond, who originally created Spring Fest during his time serving as the District 1 Commissioner. It was great to have him join the event again, as this tradition continues to grow.

A huge thank you to city staff, volunteers, vendors, partners and the team at Vista Lakes for helping make Spring Fest such a success.

Looking forward to building on this momentum and staying connected with the residents who make our community so special.

What an incredible morning at The Great Big Backpack Build! My team and I hit the ground running, packing backpacks alongside more than 500 amazing volunteers.

The energy in the room was unstoppable as we worked together toward one goal: making sure 30,000 Central Florida students start the school year ready to succeed.

I’m proud of our community, proud of our volunteers and proud to roll up my sleeves for our kids!

It was great to welcome another small business to District 1 this weekend at the grand opening of Heavenly Bites.

I’m always excited to see entrepreneurs investing in our community, and the gelato was truly delicious.

Wishing Heavenly Bites all the best!

This Pride Month, we recognize and honor the fundamental freedom for every individual to love openly, live authentically and be themselves without fear.

At its core, Pride reflects the ongoing pursuit of freedom in all its forms: the freedom to love, the freedom to express one’s identity and the freedom from discrimination.

To mark the first day of Pride Month, I attended the community blood donation drive hosted by OneBlood.

During the 2016 Pulse tragedy, medical teams were able to use blood previously donated by the community to help save lives. Today’s blood drive at Orlando City Hall continues that legacy.

If you are able, I encourage you to donate blood and support this meaningful effort. Your donation can make a lifesaving difference.

Wishing everyone a meaningful, uplifting and empowering celebration. Happy Pride Month! 🌈

This morning, Congressman Darren Soto announced more than $43 million in federal funding for improvements at Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Kissimmee Gateway Airport.

I joined the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) and several other Central Florida leaders at MCO to discuss what this investment means for the City of Orlando and District 1, including $33 million dedicated to terminal upgrades at MCO.

These improvements will support essential infrastructure needs at one of our region’s busiest gateways and help ensure that the airport continues to serve residents, workers and visitors safely and efficiently.
