# Events Advisory Commission | 10.08.2026

Orem City’s Events Advisory Commission met in October 2026 (the meeting title lists October 8; the metadata timestamp falls on October 9). Staff reviewed Taste of Orem, which drew an estimated 6,600 attendees, up from about 5,800 the prior year. Feedback on the food, entertainment, and event flow was generally positive; commissioners discussed improvements for next year, including two performance tents and encouraging returning restaurants to offer new menu items. No vendor selection, contract award, or procurement vote was reported.

The commission also discussed upcoming Trick or Treat and the November 30 Lights On ceremony, including volunteer needs, entertainment, decorations, live reindeer, and a smaller drone show because of budget constraints; no amount or spending approval was specified. Members discussed using GroupMe to coordinate between meetings, with staff noting that messages would be government records and must be retained. The commission expects to meet in November and January, with January elections and planning for Oremfest. No formal procurement actions or motions related to spending were identified.
