Subject: Temporary Street Closures for September and October Events

Background
The Community Services Department, in conjunction with City departments and the Downtown
Merchants Association, has been collaborating on several events for September and October to
bring residents and visitors to Main Street. These events will require downtown street closures
for the safety of vendors, participants, and the community.
1. Downtown Market Night: Last year, we developed a new event to bring to “Feet to the
Street” on Historic Main Street called Downtown Market Night. The event was held in the
parking lot of Gediman Square from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. with 40 vendors, free crafts for
kids, and hundreds of people in attendance. This year in collaboration with the
Downtown Merchants Association, we are extending this event along Main Street.
2. Trunk or Treat: This is the inaugural attempt to expand the Trunk or Treat event to our
Historic Downtown providing a unique opportunity to enjoy its charm and history. This
trendy event is typically held in the Lake Community Center; however, years of
successful attendance have forced the event to this new and exciting location. Trick or
Treating, haunted maze, crafts, vendors, and more for the whole family to enjoy.
3. Dia De Los Muertos: This annual event is organized by Studio 395 and co-sponsored by
the City of Lake Elsinore. The Downtown Merchants Association has joined Studio 395
in planning this year’s event. The cultural event showcases beautiful art, altars, themed
vendors, food, and music.
