From 407 t-shirts to $4.07 beverages, the Orlando destination promotes hometown pride
ORLANDO, Fla. (April 2, 2024) – Together with The City of Orlando, Orange County Government, Orlando Economic Partnership and Visit Orlando, the entire destination commemorates hometown pride on Sunday, April 7, with events and special deals for residents and visitors in honor of 407 Day.
Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings and City of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer have issued a joint proclamation declaring Sunday, April 7, 407 Day throughout the region.
Inspired by the destination’s longtime area code, 407 Day began as a rallying point to support local restaurants impacted by the pandemic.
Since then, it has evolved into a community celebration where residents and visitors are encouraged to support their favorite restaurants, bars, shops, boutiques, services and other local businesses by sharing posts and photos on their social media channels with the #407day hashtag.
From free festivals to live performances and sporting events through Orange County, there are plenty of ways to celebrate Orlando pride and support the local community.
