Elizabeth Park in the Columbia neighborhood. 2205 Elizabeth Street, 98225 These Family Friendly Events are presented in partnership by The Eldridge Society and Bellingham Parks and Recreation. For the best chance of getting on the bill, please email me your submission before the middle of February. ([email protected]) Give me at least three Thursday dates you are available. If you ha
ven’t played at the park in the past six years, or if there are major changes to your group, I will need to have a current press packet with a sample of your music. Unless it’s been recently updated, if you sent me all this in the past two years, check with me it before you go to any trouble pulling it together again. If I am NOT familiar with your group, or if you have changed substantially in the past year, are you playing somewhere locally in the next two months? Do you have current social media links you can share with me? If you have not played the park before, have you been to other concerts at Elizabeth Park as an audience member? Here's what you need to know..(if you don't already)
1. You need your own sound equipment and sound op. Sound needs to reach at least the part of the park where the food vendors usually park.
2. Set up starts at 4:00, play time is from 6-8. Please respect the park staff and return borrowed items by 8:30
3. This is completely funded by donations to The Eldridge Society, per Thursday performance… Parks and Rec provides power, a staff person, trash, recycling and compost bins. Hand trucks and wheelbarrows are available for you to use to load and unload.
4. There will be two parking spots reserved for the band on Washington, right near the loading ramp. The performance group that encourages the audience to bring in the most donations into the Gazebo box for the evening they perform will have an automatic "in" for the next Summer if wanted!! Marla
