The new event is in the spring, while the art festival is held during fall.
Kissimmee Main Street organized and hosts the event, which will emphasize antiques as well art arts and crafts.
“We want to create an event that will bring in people not just interested in art, but antiques too,”  Fish said.
Fish and others with Kissimmee Main Street are hopeful future festivals will inclde even more of the downtown area, so other streets will be closed including nearby Darlington Avenue.
Antique fairs and festivals have worked well in other cities, said Jeremy Lanier, manager of  Lanier's Antique Marketplace in downtown Kissimmee.  Antique festivals have been  popular events in towns such as Mount Dora and Tarpon Springs, so there is no reason why a similar event cannot be successful in Kissimmee.
“This is a test right now,” Lanier said, to gauge interest and see what Kissimmee Main Street can do with the event in the future.
For this first event, there will be music, Fish said, but there really isn't money in the budget for live musicians.
Hopefully the event will attract lots of people, Fish said, which, is always helpful to the downtown Kissimmee businesses. Shops and restaurants will be open during the  11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday  event, and some will be open in the evening hours as well, after the event ends.
“We have a nightlife in downtown Kissimmee now,” Fish said, “and hopefully people will want to stay for dinner.”
