Festival, Inc., hereinafter referred to as Permittee.
City is the owner of that certain real property described in the attached Exhibit A and known as
City Hall (402 Lee St. NE). The Permittee would like to use this property - specifically, the City
Hall Campus (park-like area around city hall), tiled area around the City Hall Tower, and access
to interior bathrooms - to hold an annual juried fine arts festival. The River Clay Fine Arts
Festival will offer area residents as well as visitors from out of town the opportunity to view and
purchase art, enjoy entertainment and participate in art activities and demonstrations. The event
is expected to draw approximately 75 artists from around the Southeast and thousands of
attendees to Downtown Decatur. The event is currently scheduled to be held the 4th weekend in
September each year.
In 2017, festival volunteers will require limited access beginning at noon on Thursday,
September 21, 2017, to begin setup of the general festival layout. Participating artists and
vendors will setup on Friday, September 22, 2017 from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm with festival
volunteers onsite to assist. Actual festival activities will start Friday evening with a private
ticketed preview event for artists and arts patrons scheduled for 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm (or until
dark). As in years past, there will be alcohol served during the ticketed event. On Saturday,
September 23, 2017, final artist and vendor setup will begin at 6:00 am with the festival opening
to the public at 9:00 am and closing at 5:00 pm. On Sunday, September 24, 2016, the festival
opens to the public at 10:00 am and closes at 4:00 pm. Artist, vendor and festival breakdown
will begin at 4:00 pm and should be complete no later than 7:00 pm. Permittee will coordinate
security for times when festival volunteers are not on site. Every attempt will be made to avoid
any negative effect on parking during the normal work week and to minimize any effect over the
course of the weekend.
WHEREAS, the City supports the redevelopment of the city center and a move toward a
downtown arts based economy; and
WHEREAS, the City understands that River Clay Fine Arts Festival supports the goals of an arts
based economy and Downtown redevelopment; and
