Title
Centennial Park West Labor Day Concert Event - Trippin Billies
History
On August 31, 2014, the Village will host the second of two 2014 concert events at Centennial Park West near Colette Highlands. The event brings in a very large crowd to enjoy the music, sunshine and ambiance of the Village's newest concert venue.
The Trippin Billies is a popular local group that has been touring the nation with Dave Matthews style music for close to twenty years and is comprised of some of Chicago’s best musicians. The Trippin Billies have been called the "Nation's most successful Dave Matthews Tribute" and "Top Tribute Bands in the US". This is a family event and patrons are encouraged to bring their blankets, lawn chairs and a picnic to enjoy popular music of this renowned band. Staff recommends approval of the payment totaling $6,500 for the group, Trippin Billies, as the headline at the Labor Day Centennial Park West concert on Sunday, August 31, 2014, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The opening act begins at 3:30 p.m. with the music of The Van Goghs.
This agenda item is being considered by the Parks and Recreation Committee and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night due to timing.
