Re: Second Annual SnowBall Music Festival Less Than 30 Days Away
Avon Property and Business Owner,
As you may be aware, the second annual SnowBall Music Festival will be coming to Avon on Friday, March 2nd through Sunday, March 4th. Musicians, staging, set-up crews, media and festival attendees will be descending on Avon starting March 2nd for a weekend of music, after parties and fun in the snow!
The Town of Avon is excited to welcome this one-of-a-kind winter music event to our community and wanted to provide you with information on impacts that will be associated with the event. The event will necessitate temporary building closure(s), parking lot closures(s) and road closure(s) for the safety of set-up crews, festival attendees and general public alike. Although these closures may seem an inconvenience, the benefits from the national exposure to our community exceed the temporary disruptions.
