For Immediate Release | August 30, 2019

Avon, CO – The Town of Avon, Colorado, invites qualified event production businesses, organizations, agencies and/or individuals to submit a proposal(s) to produce and host one or more special event(s) in the Town of Avon, Colorado in 2020.  Proposals are due September 23, 2019 before midnight.

In early 2017, the Avon Town Council appointed members to the Ad Hoc Special Events Committee (AHSEC).  In 2019, that committee transformed into the Cultural, Arts & Special Events (CASE) Committee, who will play a key role in the review and recommendation process for venue dates and any funding or in-kind Town support.  With the CASE Committee in place, this will be the third year that Avon is reaching out to seek applications from producers in a coordinated process, thereby allowing the Town a comprehensive, pro-active and comparative approach in reviewing and approving 2020 special events. 

Prospective applicants are welcome to contact Danita Dempsey via email at ddempsey@avon.org to discuss the proposal process and ask any questions related to Avon’s facilities, community, event strategy and aspirations. All application materials can be found at www.avon.org/bids.
