Title: APPROVAL OF THE NON-IMPACT EVENT KNOWN AS "COURT OF DREAMS" TO BE HELD ON MARCH 28, 2026, AT THE DELRAY BEACH TENNIS CENTER; AND TO AUTHORIZE THE SPECIAL EVENTS MANAGER TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT
Summary
The City of Delray Beach is set to approve the special event "Court of Dreams," organized by Special Olympics Florida, scheduled for March 28, 2026, at the Delray Beach Tennis Center. This inaugural event aims to raise funds for year-round sports training and competition for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The event will feature tennis and pickleball activities, food, live music, and alcohol service, with an expected attendance of around 150 people. The Special Events Technical Advisory Committee (SETAC) recommends approval without special conditions, and the city will grant a 50% waiver on associated soft costs for the non-profit organizer. This legislation is significant as it supports community engagement and fundraising for an important cause while ensuring compliance with local regulations.
