Title
2025 Centennial Park West and Taste of Orland Park Artists
History
The Village opened the new Centennial Park West venue in June 2024. The venue hosted the Village's large scale special events including the Centennial Park West Concert Series, the 4th of July concert and fireworks, nine weeks of Market at the Park, three Movie's in the Park and the Taste of Orland Park.
In 2025, staff look forward to hosting and expanding upon the success of 2024. Toward this end, staff seek approval to authorize the Village Manager to enter into contracts, subject to Village attorney review, with Artists whose performance and rider fees total more than $25,000. This would enable staff to make the required deposit, typically fifty percent, and secure Artists within the short window of time available from when an offer is made and accepted by the Artist.
Concerts for the Centennial Park West Concert Series are expected to take place in June, July and August 2025. The Taste of Orland Park will be August 1, 2 and 3, 2025.
Ticket prices for Centennial Park West concerts are expected to be priced $10 - $45 depending upon the Artist. The venue's capacity will allow 5,000 or more attendees.
