Looking for a great Redlands location to host an event...

For the last three years I have participated in Share Our Strength's Great American Bake Sale. Each year I have held the event in Riverside (twice at the Riverside Plaza, once downtown near the Mission Inn). But this year I would really like to host the sale in Redlands (where I currently live), because I love the downtown area and the community feel. My sale started small the first year, but I have increased our goal steadily each year, making the event much bigger each year. I want to make this event even bigger and better this year! But...before the planning can begin, the most important aspect is the LOCATION!

I'm looking for suggestions/input on where the event can really succeed, get a lot of foot traffic, publicity, etc. Ideally, I would like to make this part of some other larger event. This is such a great cause, and who doesn't want baked goodies? Any suggestions are greatly welcomed. I always look for support from local Riverside businesses and many have been generous, but I would really like the community of Redlands to pull together to promote their own businesses while helping out a great cause.
