ISSUE: Approval of 2017 Smyrna community events.
BACKGROUND:
The following is a list of proposed event dates for 2017 City of Smyrna Community events organized by or through the Community Relations Department including several annual events organized by or through the Parks & Recreation Department, all previously reviewed by Council. The following dates (upon approval) should be reserved by Parks & Recreation facility management and noted and planned for by all impacted and/or services and facilities supplying City of Smyrna departments, as has been the practice in previous years.
Community event dates hold a traditional selection pattern that has been followed for 2017 with the exception of adjustment for holiday weeks at the end of May (impacting the first week in June) and July (July 4th week). These two concert dates have been adjusted to avoid overlap with the referenced holiday weeks. The exception to holiday week adjustment is the Memorial Day Ceremony to be held on Memorial Day, May 29, 2017, which is a City of Smyrna observed holiday.
