Chris Nelson, american airline reservations the vice president of operations at Piedmont Park, thinks that Music Midtown is good for Atlanta. People in a big city anticipate and expect to see these kinds of cultural festivities, american airline reservations according to Nelson.
In the past 18 years, Music Midtown's popularity remained high until its 2006 cancelation. Peter Conlon, Music Midtown's founder, decided to change the festival's 2005 summer dates from the first weekend in May to June 10-12.
Thinking that weather would be better, the plan backfired. It rained heavily, the venue had to be moved to a less popular location and the ticket prices skyrocketed. Ultimately, the support for the festival was low that year and cost Midtown over $3 million american airline reservations in profit.
Piedmont Park's overuse is only one one of the challenges that Music Midtown may present. They have very few park acres for a city of Atlanta's size, so the parks they do have get a lot of use, according to Nelson.
Over the years, in partnership with the city and conservancy, there has been a big improvement. Events, including the Music Midtown festival, american airline reservations are required to follow certain guidelines to help conserve the park, Nelson american airline reservations said.
As several outdoor events require, american airline reservations Music Midtown adheres to their Marketplace Exhibitor Information & Application package where rules and regulations can be found. It states that, "Decorations may not be nailed, taped, tacked or otherwise american airline reservations fastened to park infrastructure, trees, or fixtures. The use or distribution of any of the following items is prohibited: adhesive backed decals, american airline reservations stickers, helium balloons, glitter, and confetti. Motorized american airline reservations vehicles of any type (forklifts, gas or electric carts, bicycles, scooters or similar equipment) american airline reservations may not be used inside the event venue."
The festival will also only allow brochures and flyers to be in confined spaces of the festival, in order to keep the park from being flooded with them. The exhibitors are also responsible for keeping their areas clean, and disposing of their own trash.
american airline reservations Though Nelson doesn't think that the challenge of Atlanta parking is unique to the city, Piedmont Park, unlike other parks, is situated in an area where there are surrounding single residential homes and neighborhoods. There aren't a lot of public parking decks in the area, so many people park in the street, Nelson said. Oftentimes, festivalgoers are disrespectful of people's homes, and will block their driveways, he said.
In its premiere year, 1994, there were three stages and the festival spanned over two days. As years went on, the event gained popularity, and the festival american airline reservations grew a great deal. It was changed to be a three-day event instead of two and have more than three stages. Because of the increase in stages, the festival expected more bands, and, therefore, more money. By 2003, the event had over 300,000 festivalgoers.
