PE OpenAir Circus 7-6 — File 211979

PUBLIC EVENT/SPECIAL ALCOHOL LICENSE APPLICATION City of Somerville, Commonwealth of Massachusetts Application #: PEL21-000017 File #: 21-005192 Application for: Public Event Organization name: OPENAIR Circus Event name: OPENAIR Circus Description: OPENAIR Circus classes Location: We would like to hold limited classes at Perry Park this summer. Our current plan is to cap each class at 10, which would allow for an accompanying guardian, a teacher, and an organizer to be at the field and still be below the current restriction of 25 people at an outdoor gathering. Our current plan is to have each class be 50 minutes long so that there are 10 minutes to transition between classes. We would like to use spray chalk to clearly identify to participants the planned entrance/exit from the park to help with social distancing guidelines as well as to mark the grass in the center section of the field to give the teacher and students an identification of where they are to stand when participating in a class. Date(s): July 6, July 7, July 8, July 13, July 14, July 15, July 20, July 21, July 22, July 27, July 28, July 29, August 3, August 4, August 5, August 10, August 11, August 12 Rain date(s): None Setup starts at (time): 4:00pm Event starts at (time): 4:30pm Cleanup after the event ends at (time): 8:00pm Event ends at (time): 8:00pm Entertainment: None Temporary Structures: None Attendees: Max attendance at one time: 25 Total people attending: 190 Maximum attendees accommodated: 25 at any time; including organizers/teachers Total Somerville residents attending: 100 Attendee fees or suggested donations: $30/child or $50/family for full program (no individual class fee structure) What is your budget for this event: Summer Program Overall: $10,000 Social or cultural benefits: Our program gives families an opportunity to get outside and learn new and interesting skills and interact with each other. This year will be different due to the pandemic but we still maintain that the socially distanced interactions will be beneficial as will the outdoor physical activity. Financial benefits: Typically this would include frequenting the nearby businesses but we do not believe we will have such an impact this year due to the pandemic.
