July concert series moves to Centennial Park; staff pilots shuttle and reports higher admissions revenue
Summary
Staff outlined a July concert series at Vince Scully Centennial Park, introduced shuttle service from Los Lomas Elementary (OCTA-funded pilot), sensory-friendly measures and said July 4 admissions revenue rose to $31,000 from $19,000 last year.
Commissioners reviewed summer events logistics, including a venue shift and a shuttle pilot intended to improve access.
Staff said the first concert (a Santana cover band) will be at Vince Scully Centennial Park with shuttle service from Los Lomas Elementary and that concerts will rotate between Vince Scully and Portola Park. The presenter said shuttle service used OCTA funding; the July 4 pilot produced 69 completed surveys and staff reported admissions revenue of $31,000 for the event versus $19,000 the prior year. Staff described sensory-friendly booths, noise-canceling headphones for attendees and use of the mobile museum at field concerts to improve accessibility.
Officials noted additional logistical needs—temporary dressing areas, storage and extra cleanup—after moving venues, and said they will monitor how the new setup affects bands, vendors and staffing.
