REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Johnathan O. Skinner, Director of Community Services
Date: November 9, 2021
Subject: 2021 Winterfest - Road Closures
Recommendation
Approve Temporary Road Closures for the Winterfest Event on Saturday, December 4, 2021.
Background
The City of Lake Elsinore will be hosting our annual Winterfest and Tree Lighting Event on
Saturday, December 4, 2021. The event is held in Downtown Lake Elsinore with a variety of
holiday craft vendors, food booths, free activity booths, food vendors, snow sled area, Santa's
Village, a holiday parade, entertainment, tree lighting ceremony, and visits with Santa. Local
downtown merchants often stay open late as we kick off the festive holiday season with the
lighting of the Holiday Tree and Santa's arrival.
Discussion
This year, the event is planned to take place on Main Street in Downtown Lake Elsinore from 3
p.m. to 7 p.m. and includes a parade at the beginning of the event. Staff anticipates
approximately 10,000 attendees. As a result, staff is recommending road closures for event
staging and event festivities. The Sherriff's Department, Fire Department, Public Works
Department, and Community Services Department will coordinate resources to ensure the event
is a safe and memorable experience. To ensure the safety of the participants, staff is
recommending the following road closures, as detailed in Exhibit A:
• Main Street (between Franklin Street and Lakeshore Drive)
• Heald Street (between Spring Street and Main Street)
• Peck Street (between Spring Street and Main Street)
• Graham Avenue (between Spring Street and Main Street)
• Sulphur Street (between Spring Street and Main Street)
• Limited Street (between Spring Street and Main Street)
• Library Street (between Spring Street and Main Street)

It is recommended that these road closures remain in place from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and be
enforced by Law Enforcement personnel. The road closures and timing of the closures are
necessary to accommodate the setup and tear down of stages, equipment, and materials
utilized for the event. Parking for the event will be available at the vacant lot at the corner of
Peck Street and Main Street and along the surrounding public streets.
Fiscal Impact
The event expenditures would include equipment, materials, event preparations, and personnel.
The total cost for the event is approximately $25,000. Funds are accommodated via the
Community Services Department 2021-2022 fiscal budget. In addition, the City receives
donations from many organizations to partially offset expenses. This year, we anticipate
approximately $1,000 in donations. In addition, vendor fee revenues are estimated to be
approximately $3,375.
