 City of Hermosa Beach --- 05-11-99
IMG BEACH BASH PLAZA CONCERT BANDS
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council approve Plaza concerts from 4:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Friday June 11 through Sunday June 13 in conjunction with the Mervyns' Beach Bash.
Background
At the March 23, 1999 meeting, Council approved Mervyns' Beach Bash, a sports festival featuring professional volleyball, skateboarding, in-line skating and BMX biking on the beach. At that time, event organizers requested permission to host bands on the Plaza each evening.
Council requested that IMG return with a proposed line-up of bands prior to final approval.
Each Council Member has been provided with a cassette with two songs from the proposed bands:
A cassette tape will be available for the public in the Community Resources Department Office, 710 Pier Avenue.
Analysis
IMG met with City staff to develop an operations and security plan for the beach event and Plaza concerts. The stage will be located at the west-end similar to other staged events on the Plaza (Attachment B). Police will be assigned to the area for the duration of the concerts.
It is hoped that music on the Plaza will encourage event spectators to visit downtown businesses after the event each day and that they will add to the festive atmosphere of the event.
Fiscal Impact: None
