What’s Happening, Baldwin Park?

Spend a few hours or even a day exploring Baldwin Park’s downtown district and you’ll be hooked. It’s that special.

“We are Baldwin Park.” It’s a phrase that residents take to heart, especially when it comes to the city’s treasured local businesses. If you’ve never wandered into Downtown Baldwin Park, you’re missing out on a treat. This quiet, self-contained community is full of surprises.

“Be careful, though. Once you’ve entered ‘The Bubble,’ you might not want to leave,” warns Brie Bernstell, multimedia and community coordinator for the Baldwin Park associations. “The Village Center has so many amazing independent restaurants, shops and bars that it’s hard to tear yourself away.” Another tip from Brie: “If you want to get the big picture, be sure to venture beyond the main street and explore some more.”

One of the city’s newest additions is Greenbeat, a company devoted to the idea that healthy, vibrant and flavorsome food should be accessible to everyone. “The community is ecstatic about this addition,” Brie notes. “You can build your own salads using locally sourced ingredients.”

Here are just a few of the businesses that bring Baldwin Park to life for residents and visitors throughout Central Florida.
