________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
As approved by Council earlier this year, staff is planning to produce for the community a series of 20 new signature events in Castle Rock during 2016. These events are one element of the Council-adopted Special Events Strategic Plan.
The event lineup has been finalized (Attachment A), and the events are now being publicized throughout the community. The series of 20 events will kick off May 6 and will conclude on New Year’s Eve.
Sponsorship and volunteer opportunities are available in connection with these events. Interested community members can visit CRgov.com/townevents to learn more. Additionally, tickets will be required to attend the Celebration Concert Series events, as well as Scavenge the Rock and some aspects of the Rocky Mountain Sports Festival. Ticketing information will be available on the website, as well.
Staff will be evaluating the community’s reception to these events and planning 2017’s events accordingly. Additionally, the events program is planned to be evaluated as part of the 2017 community survey. We welcome public feedback or questions regarding the events, which can be directed to specialevents@CRgov.com or 720-724-2007.
