Background
Pilgrimage Presents has requested a long-term special event permit for their music festival at the Park at Harlinsdale Farm from 2018 - 2022.

The term for the permit is five years. The permit, once approved, will be reviewed annually by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen for specific recommendations for the current year’s event.
This item was presented at the February 13, 2018 BOMA meeting.
Recommendation

Staff recommends approval of the long-term permit to include an annual review by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The annual review will include staff recommendations.
