I may or may not have watched “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” last night ...

Hi, friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.

Hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday - I got together with a few gal pals for a movie night to watch the concert movie! It was good, but it just made me wish I hadn’t missed her performing in Florida last year 😥.

The newsletter’s title, of course, is a Taylor song title but also a question I have for you all about this weekend 😉.

There is a lot of fun stuff going on, including what’s pictured at the top of this story (captured by yours truly).

Here’s what’s happening this weekend ⤵️

The countdown is ON for the 321: Food Fest & Craft Fair! 🤤😍

Dozens of vendors in Brevard County are prepping for the food festival this weekend.

This event is perfect if you want to try bites and treats from multiple vendors and not break the bank. Each item will cost $1-$5 with special a la carte menus available.

If you’re looking for somewhere to spend a few hours checking out local businesses, your time is here.

Over 200 vendors are coming back to Orlando’s Milk District for the “Lazy Lovers” Milk Mart 🛍️.

When I went to the last event, it was such a good time! My friends and I had yummy food, shopped around (I did spend a little too much) and met very cool people!

It’s great to see what people are working on in your community, so I 10/10 recommend you check it out if you have time.

👀 Here are the deets.
