Fiesta by the Boy
By this means I would like to formally request a spot on the Agenda of the
City of Miami Commission Meeting to be held on September 14th. I would be
representing the Latin Orange Festival Council as its acting Executive Director.
I am requesting this inclusion in the Agenda to discuss the Fiesta by the Bay
Event. As I am sure you are aware, Fiesta by the Bay has been held at
Bayfront Park every New Year's Eve since 1982. The City of Miami has been one
of its main sponsors from its very beginnings. Except during the years 1985
and 1986, when construction work was quite considerable, Fiesta by the Bay has
always been held at Bayfront Park.
This year the Latin Orange Festival Council is at risk of having the Fiesta by
the Bay Event preempted, taken by the Orange Bowl. There have been press
releases indicating that a pre -and post -Parade Event with food and entertainment
would be organized and held by the Orange Bowl in Bayfront Park on New Year's
Eve.
I would like an opportunity to express my concern and surprise to the City
C Iomisaion. Many of us In ve wort:ed lotto _:ears to make Fiesta by the Bsy
an important,entertaining event for the community; a Eree Event for the people
of Miami, Please include the LOFC in the Agenda for the Commission Meeting;
of September 14th. Thank You.
it Sincerely,
Celia R. Touzet
— Executive Director
