Title
2024 Centennial Park West and Taste of Orland Park Artists
History
The Village has been hosting concerts at Centennial Park West since 2003. In 2019, the Village introduced ticketed concerts bringing in national headliners to perform.
In June 2022, the Village Board approved awarding the construction of the Centennial Park West venue to Reed Construction. When complete, the venue will host a variety of Village events including ticketed concerts, the Taste of Orland Park, Fourth of July and Market at the Park.
Concerts at the new Centennial Park West venue are expected to take place in June, July and August 2024. The Taste of Orland Park will be August 2, 3 and 4, 2024.
Staff are engaged with talent agencies to secure Artists for Centennial Park West ticketed concerts and the Taste of Orland Park. Staff seek Board approval authorizing 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.
Ticket prices for Centennial Park West concerts are expected to be priced $10 - $40 depending upon the Artist. The venue's capacity will allow 4,000 or more attendees.
