Powder Springs unveils summer lineup, fundraising plan for Market/Street Plaza
Summary
City staff reviewed a full summer schedule for Mark Street Plaza, listed headline acts and fundraising ideas (custom water cans, volunteer alcohol sales) and described sound and lighting upgrades and volunteer needs for setup and teardown.
Councilors heard a report on recent and upcoming events at Mark Street Plaza and the plaza’s fundraising approach for the season.
The presenter described a successful but rain‑affected recent weekend concert and credited staff and volunteers for quick problem‑solving; he outlined a busy lineup including the Indigos on June 13, a July 4 concert with fireworks, a July 18 show, weekly weekend acts in August, a Sept. 12 bluegrass and barbecue event, and a Dec. 5 Winter Fest. Officials also announced a Battle of the Bands with a $1,000 prize and an opening‑act slot at a major future celebration.
To generate revenue and support volunteer groups, the plaza will sell a custom water can as a fundraiser (proceeds to the plaza) and split alcohol‑sale proceeds with volunteer groups that staff concessions. The presenter credited TV3, Amanda Falk and Hillary Wright for event work and described new speaker and light‑bar mounting that improved sound quality and safety. Staff asked for volunteer help with setup and teardown and said promotional materials will be distributed to local restaurants.
No formal action or vote was required for the event items; the report was informational.
