The City of Orlando's Downtown Development Board has been awarded the prestigious Game Changer Award by the Downtown Orlando Partnership at the 2024 Golden Brick Awards for its innovative DTOLive program. This recognition celebrates initiatives that have made a transformative impact on the downtown experience.
Launched in June 2024 in partnership with United Arts of Central Florida, Creative City Project, and the Downtown Arts District, DTOLive brings a new level of energy to downtown by activating public spaces with free, family-friendly entertainment - from live music to cultural showcases - creating meaningful experiences for residents, workers, and visitors alike.
In addition to this honor, DDB was also named a finalist for the Westcourt Economic Development Incentive Agreement, Ride DTO, and the Clean & Safe app. These recognitions highlight the city's ongoing efforts to enhance the vitality, safety, and connectivity of downtown Orlando.
Hosted by the Downtown Orlando Partnership and presented by AdventHealth, the sold-out Golden Brick Awards ceremony took place on May 7, 2025, at Steinmetz Hall in the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
The DDB is proud to be recognized for its commitment to making downtown Orlando a dynamic and thriving place for all.
