Milk Mart didn\u2019t always feature food so heavily, Ashley Hallenbeck, its director, tells me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the early, much smaller and slower days of the event, we focused on sending all our guests to our brick-and-mortar restaurants and bars, which include cozy dives like Bull & Bush, Sportstown, Whiskey Lou\u2019s, Black Magic Pizza and Gringos Locos, to local beer spots like Sideward Brewing and The Nook, to Michelin-winning locations like Otto\u2019s High Dive and Swine & Sons inside Milkhouse.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s been an incredible 10 years for this event, which over time has grown to encompass myriad food trucks and tables, loaded down with everything from Florida barbecue to Filipino classics to Phat Ash Bakes\u2018 cookies.<\/p>\n

The beloved cookie company has been a Milk Mart vendor for six years.<\/p>\n

\u201cFour times a year since and we haven\u2019t missed one. It\u2019s just awesome. We love it,\u201d says Phat Ash co-owner Israel Arazo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love seeing the wild people come through and as huge as it is, some people still don\u2019t even know it exists,\u201d he says. \u201cWe\u2019re so excited to be a part of it and blast our awesome music and create a vibe around our tent. They let us do our thing, and it\u2019s wonderful to be aligned with an event that\u2019s changing the landscape of the Milk District and putting eyeballs on it and feet to street for all the local places there.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunday, May 31, you can try out Phat Ash Bakes\u2019 goodies, plus lots more, as Milk Mart celebrates this landmark anniversary at the intersection of Bumby Avenue and Robinson Street in Orlando\u2019s Milk District, the \u2018hood for which it is named.<\/p>\n

For years, Milk Mart has partnered with local vendors and hosted thousands of guests, helping to showcase creative indie art and products in an atmosphere that welcomes everyone \u2014 young, old, kids, pets, you name it \u2014 and costs nothing to attend. Parking can be tight in this neighborhood (I always manage to find a spot and hoof it in!) but $5 spots are available at Festival Park (2911 E. Robinson St. in Orlando), where free pedicabs will be at the ready to pedal you over to the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Moo Crew,\u201d as Hallenbeck calls them, has helped this small event grow into something massive, and \u201ccome hungy\u201d is a recommendation that can\u2019t be overstated, as the local-discovery aspect of this event absolutely includes food.<\/p>\n

\u201cCatch the latest from the creators of Red Panda Noodle on the Baba Yaga chicken truck for those of you who like it spicy,\u201d Hallenbeck suggests. \u201cOr do a non-alcoholic drink-around-the-block with tons of lemonade, juice, smoothie, coffee, kombucha and matcha vendors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Including food, there will be more than 300 vendors at this epic anniversary party, featuring lots of one-of-a-kind art, jewelry, home goods and more, live music, free activities and the chance to get a photo beneath Milk Mart\u2019s iconic inflatable cow.<\/p>\n

Milk Mart runs from noon to 6 p.m. and amid the vendors, food and otherwise, there are also more than a dozen brick-and-mortar locals to visit as you wander.<\/p>\n
