Guidelines for Attendees

Concert in the Park 2018 is a free, public event which includes a stage for live music, small dance area in front of the stage, food and beverage concessions for sale, a free Family Fun zone with petting zoo, games, small train, free bocce lessons, and Farmer’s Market. These guidelines are intended to protect attendees from any activities or behaviors which may detract from the enjoyment of the event by others.

The Concert viewing area will be divided by a chalk line.  The area between the dance floor and the chalk line is intended for individuals seated on the ground or in low chairs, so that the view of the stage by other attendees will not be obstructed.  On the other side of the chalk line, attendees may have umbrellas, sunshades, small tents , small tables, and similar items that does not interfere with other attendees’ enjoyment of the event .  We encourage attendees to be mindful not to obstruct the view of others as much as possible by setting up larger items behind the chalk line, and toward the sides of the viewing area. Please refer to the attached diagram.
