Florida Festivals & Events Association's Position on
Amendment 3:
We believe Floridians deserve tax relief and the community
traditions that make our state feel like home.
Every parade watched from a parent's shoulders. Every
hometown festival. Every concert in the park. Every farmers market. Every
holiday celebration. Every afternoon spent on a neighborhood playground.
These are the moments where lifelong memories are made.
These experiences are made possible through local
investment. Amendment 3 does not provide a clear plan to protect the local
funding that supports the festivals, parks, recreation programs, arts, cultural
events, and public spaces that bring our communities together.
Until there is a reliable plan to preserve the places,
programs, and traditions that define Florida's communities, the Florida
Festivals & Events Association encourages Floridians to vote No on
Amendment 3.
