The Promenades
Did you make it to our first Promenade? If not, come this join us this Thursday, June 23. This week's live music features The Purple Ones & Moondance. We hope to see you all there.
Just a few reminders so everyone can have a wonderful and safe Promenade experience:
  • Event Time is 5-9 pm.
  • Event area includes North Santa Cruz Avenue from Main Street to Bachman Avenue.
  • You may bring folding chairs and place them by the stage areas to fully enjoy the live music.
  • Port-a Potties are located at the Elm Street parking lot.
  • No outside alcohol is allowed.
  • Alcoholic beverages may not leave the designated event area.

Promenade Guests 21+
To purchase and consume alcohol
  • Go to an ID/Token Station
  • Present a valid photo ID and receive a non-transferrable wrist band.
  • Purchase tokens to buy alcoholic beverages from any of the event street-side vendors.
  • Sales of alcohol are limited to 1 drink per non-transferrable wristband.
  • Alcoholic beverages may not leave the designated event area.
  • ID/Token Stations & street side sales will close at 8:00 pm.

Last bit of advice, please clear the streets before 9 pm as the Avenue will open to through traffic shortly thereafter.
