Community Events August 17-18, 2019
We would like to share with you a few upcoming community events this weekend, August 17-18, 2019.
The first local event in the Orlando area is the Florida Kids and Family Expo. It is available for all children to attend. It is being held Saturday, August 17th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, August 18th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Orlando Convention Center.
The Florida Kids and Family Expo was created in 2014 by two Central Florida moms that want to help other families find services, products, and more for their Central Florida families. It is an expo that merges 150+ exhibitors (businesses, organizations, schools, products, and more) with fun-filled activities for kids.
