PROPOSAL FOR ANNUAL MAIN STREET MUSIC FESTIVAL <br />DOWNTOWN REDWOOD CITY 2016 <br /> <br />The proposed date of this event will be Saturday, October 15th, 2016 <br />on Main Street beginning at 12 Noon and going until 8 PM. <br />Main Street is our historical walking district in our Downtown. For a <br />long time the businesses on Main Street have been wanting an annual <br />event all their own. We have many events in our Downtown around the <br />Square but we have had very few on main Street. We have had a <br />Fourth of July Event many years ago, Jazz on Main which was very <br />successful but the businesses on Main would not offer the financial <br />support that the City had requested and the event died. <br />Most recently Main Street had the Falcon Car Club Show for the past <br />two years. This brought about 1000 people downtown to Main Street <br />but this is not an annual festival and is not returning this year. <br />We are proposing an annual event on Main Street one a year to invite <br />the community to see what Main Street is all about and support the <br />businesses on Main Street. We want the businesses to participate and <br />also have a financial interest in this event. <br />Currently Diane Cusimano from D Tequila Lounge and Ralph Garcia from <br />Ralph’s Vacuum Sewing Center along with Regina Van Brunt from the <br />Downtown Business Group are working on the concept and as soon as <br />the event is approved by the City Manager’s office and City Council we <br />will reach out to the merchants on Main Street and move forward with <br />the event planning and making it a reality. <br />The new annual event on Main Street will include music – we will invite a <br />couple of the local high schools to participate in the music portion along <br />6.1.M. - Page 3
