Milk District to celebrate the fact that it is the center of Orlando’s sandwich scene

The Milk District is putting everyone on notice that it is declaring itself the center of Orlando’s sandwich scene with its inaugural Sandwich Week later this month.

The Milk District Sandwich Week is scheduled to run from August 20-28 and will highlight signature sandwiches from 14 local restaurants in the district. The week will be marked with special events and a pop-up shop featuring sandwich-inspired fashion and accessories by Deli Fresh Threads (Instagram | Website), daily $50 Instagram giveaways, stand-up comedy, and a screening of the 1997 comedy, Good Burger.

“Milk District Restaurants are perennially at the top of all of the ‘Best of Orlando’ contests, with our local businesses frequently swapping top spot,” said The Milk District’s Executive Director Zac Alfson. “We recognized there’s something special going on here, and welcome visitors from far and near to celebrate all of the delicious and diverse creations served between bread in the District.”
