I’m a big fan of Artegon Marketplace, which has lots of little artisan shops selling handmade and unique items, as well as really cool anchor stores like Gods & Monsters.
In the past few months, so many new stores, eateries, and entertainment venues have opened at Artegon Marketplace, so I thought I’d highlight a few of them for you to check out.
Moroccan Bazar is one of the newest tenants at Artegon Marketplace, and they will be hosting their grand opening celebration on Saturday, March 19, from 3 to 7pm.
The store offers a wide variety of Moroccan home furnishings, including lanterns, rugs, seating cushions, hookah pipes, and tea service sets.
While Black Friday is full of deals from national retailers and “big box” stores, the following day, Small Business Saturday, is meant to get people to shop from local stores and sellers. If you’re out shopping this Saturday, November 28, you’ll want to visit Artegon Marketplace.
Artegon Marketplace is full of local artisans and shops offering handmade and crafted items for purchase. The interior has recently undergone a major revamp, and every storefront now has personality and actual walls.
Artegon Marketplace will be celebrating their first anniversary this week with the Anti-Ordinary Anniversary Week Spectacular, a line-up of free events that you won’t want to miss.
The festivities start Monday, November 16, with Sip. Stroll. Shop. From 6-9pm, guests can enjoy free samples from more than ten wine tasting stations scattered throughout the shopping center, while enjoying live jazz and Flamenco music. RHONJ star Melissa Gorga will also be on hand, meeting her fans. Be among the first 150 shoppers in line at the anniversary edition of the Wine Stroll and receive a commemorative Artegon-embossed stemless wine glass.
There are a lot of great food trucks operating in Central Florida, and on Saturday, November 14, many of them will be participating in Food Truck Wars at Artegon Marketplace in Orlando.
Over 40 trucks will be competing for culinary fame, and will be rated by celebrity judges, including Jim Whaples (Florida Restaurant & Lodging Assc, American Culinary Federation), and Tchop Chop’s executive chef, Amy Gilbert.
Looking for something different to do Halloween weekend that isn’t scary? Then come play at the Artegon Carnival from October 28 through November 1 at Artegon Marketplace.
The Kevaworks/Dreamland Amusements carnival will be set up in the parking lot offering rides, games, and food for all ages. Rides will cost approximately 2 to 4 tickets per ride.
In addition to great shopping, Artegon Marketplace also hosts different events throughout the month. This week I checked out their monthly event, The Art of Beer.
The event is held the second Tuesday of each month, from 5pm to 8pm, and features free samples of beer, along with free bites to enjoy with the beer.
Opened only six months, it appears Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grill doesn’t love Orlando, as it has abruptly closed its location at Artegon Marketplace.
The country western-themed restaurant and music hall pulled the plug on Thursday, July 2. The management of Toby Keith’s isn’t giving any indication as to the sudden closing either.
