The Sponsor, The Neutral Zone, is hosting a youth-curated outdoor arts festival. The Neutral Zone teens are launching this festival to draw young people from across the community to perform, engage in and appreciate diverse artistic talent. This high-visibility event will feature a diverse array of art that includes performances on a professional stage as well as more “interactive street art” like break dancing, puppetry, and mural art.
The sponsor agrees to obtain all necessary permits, to provide evidence of proper liability insurance as required, and to comply with all City regulations governing the use of the streets and will reimburse the City for all event expenses.
Notification of the street closing will be provided through the City’s website.
The event has been coordinated with all relevant City service areas for the purposes of traffic control and for the protection of the health and safety of the participants and the general public.
