Title
Special Event Permit for Circus Vazquez (750 people)
History
At the December 6, 2021, Board meeting, the Village Board approved an ordinance amending the Special Events Permit authorizing the Village Manager to approve events under 100 persons and requires Village Board approval for larger events. Special events held on Village grounds are processed through Recreation and Parks, while events held not on Village grounds are processed through Development Services.
Circus Vazquez has submitted a Special Event permit request to host an animal free big top family circus in the parking lot of Orland Square Mall. The event is arts-based and will have food concessions, souvenirs for sale inside the tent, no food trucks or outside vendors, and no alcohol. They have in-house security, parking attendants and certified crowd managers on staff. A security agreement with Orland Park Police is currently under review.
The event will take place July 11, 2024 through July 16, 2024, with show times starting at 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Saturday - 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 pm.; 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.; and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday - 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.; 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Set-up will be July 8, 2024, and tear down will be July 17, 2024.
Financial Impact
The organizer will be subject to all applicable permits, staffing, and rental fees.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve permitting Circus Vazquez to host a big top family circus at Orland Square Mall from July 11, 2024 to July 16, 2024 contingent upon meeting all of the Village's permitting requirements, payment of fees, and inspections.
