We sat down with Park Avenue District Board Vice President, Shiela Wyatt, to talk about why this place is worth protecting, investing in and being part of.

Our work is about honoring the history and character that make Park Avenue unmistakably special, while making sure the District continues to thrive for the businesses, residents and visitors who enjoy it today and for the generations who will experience it next.

When you join the Park Avenue District, you’re doing more than becoming a member. You’re helping steward a place we never want to lose.

Preserve what matters. Invest in what’s next.

You don’t have to have a storefront on Park Avenue to have a place in the Park Avenue District.
For Theresa Smith-Levin of Central Florida Vocal Arts, joining meant becoming more deeply connected to the Winter Park community where she was born and now proudly serves. As a Park Avenue District member — and now a proud Board Treasurer — she’s built relationships with local business owners, discovered new opportunities for collaboration and found businesses eager to support the mission of her nonprofit.

That’s what membership can do.

Park Avenue District brings together the businesses, nonprofits and PEOPLE who want to be part of what makes Winter Park special and help shape what comes next.

If you want to build meaningful relationships, become more connected and have a greater presence in the Winter Park community, there’s a place for you here.

Our Stroll Down the Avenue continues with Kimberly White. 🚶‍♀️✨

After moving to Winter Park from out of state, Kimberly joined Club 1882 and found more than a membership. She found a social club with new friendships, new connections and an introduction to the local businesses and people that make this community so special.

August is Member Month at the Park Avenue District and we want everyone to know that membership isn’t just for business owners.

Our PAD community is for the people who believe this place is worth cultivating. That includes Central Floridians who live here, shop here, dine here and bring their friends here!

Club 1882 gives residents a way to connect more deeply with the community they call home — and maybe discover a few new favorite places along the way.

You don’t have to own a storefront to be part of Park Avenue District. PAD Membership is for everyone.

Our stroll continues all the way to the North end of The Avenue… 🚶‍♀️

Today's stop: GASP with our Park Avenue District founder and President, Sarah Grafton.

One of the best parts of walking Park Avenue is discovering the people behind the storefronts — the business owners who bring their own personal taste, ideas, personalities and point of view to collectively create a special destination unlike anywhere else.

During August Member Month, we’re stepping inside to introduce you to more special gems in the heart of Winter Park.

Meet Juliana Vargas , the founder behind GASP, "a little pink store full of cute things".

And while you’re watching, remember: the Park Avenue we all love doesn’t happen by accident. It takes businesses, residents and community partners who believe this place is worth investing in. So come stroll. Shop local. Meet your neighbors. Discover somewhere new. And help us continue cultivating a Park Avenue worth protecting.

Walk with Us!
Introducing A Stroll Down the Avenue...
All August long, we’re celebrating Member Month. We're taking you inside some of the businesses that make Park Avenue feel like Park Avenue.

First stop: Peterbrooke Chocolatier
📍300 S Park Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789

At Peterbrooke, they've been handcrafting American chocolates in the European tradition since 1983. From rich truffles to their best selling chocolate-covered popcorn, every treat blends old-world techniques with a passion for sharing life’s sweetest moments.

We stopped in to visit with Abril, get a first hand look, and talk all things chocolate - or dipped in chocolate!

The magic of Park Avenue isn’t just found in the storefronts. It’s in the people behind them — the merchants, entrepreneurs and neighbors who invest in our community and help make it a place that's unlike anywhere else.

So stay tuned for more and come take a stroll with us.
And if you love Park Avenue, consider joining The Park Avenue District and becoming part of what keeps our mainstreet thriving.

Park Avenue District exists to ensure that one of America's most beloved main streets remains beautiful, prosperous, welcoming, and vibrant; not just today, but for generations to come.

"There's nowhere else I'd rather live in the world."
When someone who has spent years investing in our community says those words, they carry a little extra meaning.
We sat down with Andrea Massey-Farrell to talk about what makes Holidays on Park so special, and why preserving these traditions matters.

Her message is simple:
"I wish more people would get involved to help ensure that the community thrives for generations to come."
We couldn't agree more.

Holidays on Park is more than a tree lighting or a parade. It's a season that brings neighbors together, welcomes visitors, supports our local businesses, and creates memories families carry with them for a lifetime.

As we continue our Become Part of the Magic campaign, we're inviting our entire community to be part of keeping these traditions alive.

While most of Central Florida is wrapping up their summer, at Park Avenue District we're already looking ahead to the holidays. Become Part of the Magic campaign invites sponsors, businesses, and the community to help create the holiday experiences that make the Park Avenue District a cherished seasonal destination.

Thanks to the City of Winter Park’s $70,000 matching contribution, the Become Part of the Magic campaign is off to a strong start.

This campaign reflects Park Avenue District's broader mission to preserve the character, cultivate the experience, and steward the future of one of Florida's most iconic Main Street districts.
