SoDo District

SoDo District The is a Nationally Accredited Main Street organization sododistrict.org

The SoDo District represents a robust network of business owners, property owners, and residents who are investing in our community’s short and long-term success. Our efforts are centered on a vision of the District as a healthy, prosperous, and vibrant neighborhood and commercial district by constantly working to promote our local merchants, improve our streetscape, and deliver community-driven events. While we are lean nonprofit organization, we leverage our partnerships with local governments, agencies, and institutions like the City of Orlando, Orlando Health, OUC, Orange County, and the Florida Department of Transportation to produce creative, resourceful, and sustainable solutions and opportunities for our District. As a Nationally Accredited Main Street, we have established ourselves as an organization taking the lead on high-value community engagement and economic development activity. Our Main Street membership looks like much of our District: locally-owned, community-focused, and diverse. While our organization benefits business owners, property owners, and residents alike, Our SoDo Members enjoy additional outstanding benefits as sponsors and partners of our main street! As we make strides to grow and support our community, we hope you join us in making the SoDo District one the of the BEST main streets in the country!

✨🎄 Light Up S**o — Saturday, Dec 6 🎄✨

Behind every twinkle light is a S**o volunteer who said “sure, I’ll help”… and then did way more. 😂✨

Proof that S**o runs on holiday spirit, elbow grease, and a little bit of elf chaos. 🧡🍊🎄

Our volunteers are spreading joy, lifting ladders, and making S**o sparkle since forever. ✨🧝‍♂️🍊

These elves are highly trained in merrymaking and community magic. Proceed with cheer. 🎄💫🧡
