Commission approves Crooked Can Celtic Fest and Friends of Lake Apopka 42‑mile ride
Summary
The commission approved a street‑closure permit and alcohol sales for the Crooked Can Celtic Fest and authorized use of the downtown pavilion for a 42‑mile Friends of Lake Apopka bike ride expected to draw about 300 cyclists on April 19.
The City Commission unanimously approved two event requests: a Crooked Can Celtic Fest with street closure and sale/consumption of alcohol on South Central Avenue and a Friends of Lake Apopka 42‑mile bike ride that will use the downtown pavilion for rider registration and launch.
Planning staff described the Celtic Fest as identical to previous years with no proposed changes to operations; the event was scheduled Friday through Sunday with staged hours and live music on South Central Avenue. A commissioner asked whether noise would be monitored; staff replied that noise monitoring would occur and that no unresolved issues from prior years were reported.
Staff said the bike ride will take place Saturday, April 19, from about 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., with approximately 300 cyclists participating, and recommended approval for the full ride. Commissioners approved both items unanimously.
Staff did not detail additional traffic control or emergency service plans in the discussion recorded in the transcript; those items may be handled in event conditions applied by staff.
