Council reviews International Days preparations: concerts, drone show, tournaments and safety reminders
Summary
Council members briefed the workshop on International Days planning, including an estimated 500–550 concert attendees, a finalized drone show design, generator support for performers and multiple tournaments; staff emphasized pedestrian safety at crosswalks.
Price City workshop — Council members updated the workshop on preparations for the upcoming International Days festival, reporting crowd estimates for recent events, finalizing a drone show design, and discussing tournament sign-ups and event-day logistics.
A council member estimated the Culture Connection concert drew about 500 attendees (another estimate given was 550). Council members said the drone show design is finalized and that music is being prepared. Organizers said a volunteer donated a generator that enabled performers to go on as scheduled when technical problems threatened cancellation.
Why it matters: International Days is a major community event that draws residents and visitors. Council members emphasized public-safety preparation, asking parents to remind children about crosswalk safety and urging hydration as festival activities intensify.
Supporting details: The basketball tournament had roughly 30 sign-ups as of Monday; the pickleball tournament had 22 sign-ups the day before the workshop. Organizers reported the festival's carnival and other activities were progressing smoothly. Staff and council emphasized that, when events are city projects, the council should have clear authority on decisions such as cancellations.
Next steps: Event organizers will finalize music for the drone show and continue coordinating logistics with city staff. Council members asked to be notified promptly of any operational risks that could force cancellations.
