Body
BACKGROUND: The SoFlo Talent Mission, LLC has submitted an application and a Temporary Use Agreement for the use of MCRA owned property located at 5701 Margate Boulevard (NW corner of Margate Boulevard and State Road 7) to hold the Border Dash SoFlo 2022 event.
The community event would be held on Saturday, April 9, 2022 from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and would include a talent show, music competition, food vendors, arts and crafts vendors, and alcoholic beverages.
The request is to use the property the day prior, April 8, 2022 for event set-up (noon-midnight); event take-down would be after the event on April 9, 2022 from 8:00 p.m. to midnight.
The estimated attendance is 1,500 people. If approved, the applicant would provide the necessary insurance and obtain a Temporary Use Permit through the City of Margate.
The applicant is requesting use of the City stage at no charge and waiver of the event fee of $1,000.
