Title
Special Event Permit for Orland Square Mall - June Days Featuring Hello Kitty Cafe Truck (500 people)
History
At the December 6, 2021, Board meeting, the Village Board approved an ordinance amending the Special Events Permit authorizing the Village Manager to approve events under 100 persons and requires Village Board approval for larger events. Special events held on Village grounds are processed through Recreation and Parks, while events held not on Village grounds are processed through Development Services.
Orland Square Mall has submitted a Special Event permit request to host a summer-season kickoff. The event will include balloon twisters, pre-packaged refreshments, free giveaways, special offers from retailers and a special visit from the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck. Activities will take place both outside the property and within select retailers who will have special offers for shoppers. Stanchions will secure the outside patio walkway to keep shoppers out of parking lots. Orland Square security will be on site. The event will take place June 21, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. An estimated 500 people are expected to attend.
Financial Impact
The organizer will be subject to all applicable permits, staffing, and rental fees.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve permitting Orland Square Mall to host an outdoor/indoor summer kickoff on June 21, 2025, contingent upon meeting all of the Village's permitting requirements, payment of fees, and inspections.
