TGIF Concerts in the Parks Policies

It’s easy to have fun at TGIF Concerts in the Parks! To ensure that everyone can make the best of these special events, please read and follow the guidelines below.

Shuttle & Rideshare Information

Getting to and from the parks is as easy as a shuttle ride! Here are the best ways to get to the parks this summer:

Shuttles. At all concerts held at Poinsettia, Calavera Hills and Alga Norte community parks, shuttle service runs continuously from 4:15 to 9:15 p.m. for all audience members. Be sure to stop by the Carlsbad Friends of the Arts tent to receive a free gift for taking the shuttles!

Rideshare. We also recommend utilizing a rideshare service to and from the concerts. Use the concert location for drop off and pick up, and head toward the loading zones.

Parking Information and Policies

• On-site parking at each park is prioritized for audience members with disabled person placards and plates, and TGIF staff. • Loading zones are available at all parks and will be clearly marked. • All off-site parking lots open at 4 p.m. and close at 9 p.m. • All temporary parking signs will be enforced. All guests must follow any and all instruction and direction from TGIF staff, security and Carlsbad Police. • Please be courteous of our neighbors. Do not leave any trash or walk across private property. • Do not block driveways, fire hydrants or access routes. • Please park in designated areas, including off-site parking lots at all concert venues.

Concert Site Policies

Chairs. The front center section is restricted to low-backed chairs (seat 8 inches or less from the ground). In all other sections, it is recommended to bring low-backed chairs. See site maps of each concert location for location of low-backed chair section on pages 18, 20, 22 and 24.

Umbrellas. Umbrellas can be used until 6 p.m., then all umbrellas or shade structures of any kind must be taken down. The only exception is along the back fence. Any canopy-like structures may only be set up along the back fence at any event. All shade structure policies can change at any time at the discretion of the city, and will be enforced.

Aisleways. For safety, audience members may not stand, sit or dance in the aisles. The dance floor in front of the stage is reserved for dancing; grass areas are reserved for seating.

Children and Families. Children are always welcome, but please keep a watchful eye on them and keep them with you at all times. Any young artists visiting Pop Up Art must be accompanied by an adult.

Code of Conduct. Any conduct that is not specifically noted by these rules is prohibited during TGIF events if it interferes with or disrupts another visitor’s peaceful enjoyment of a performance, endangers public health or safety, may damage park property, or is prohibited by applicable federal, state and local laws.

No Pets. Pets are not allowed in city parks at any time, and any on-site dog parks will be closed at 3 p.m. on concert days. Service animals as defined by Title II and II of the Americans with Disabilities Act are welcome.

Recycle. Please do your part by separating empty bottles and cans from trash and placing them in blue recycle bins. This helps keep the parks clean and reduces landfill waste.

Prohibited Items and Activities. Items and activities that are not allowed at any time during TGIF Concerts in the Parks: • Smoking or vaping of any kind is prohibited within city parks at any time • Bicycles inside concert venues. Bike racks are available at the entrance of every park • Banners or large signs • Personal barbeque pits or grills of any kind • Weapons or drugs of any kind

Carlsbad MunicipaI Code 11.32 defines unlawful acts in Carlsbad parks and beaches. During TGIF concerts, violations of the Municipal Code will be enforced. Important highlights include: • Sales of any items (both for profit and non-profit) are not allowed without a valid permit issued by the City Council. • Distribution or posting of any handbills, circulars or advertising devices is prohibited. Conduct or solicitation of any business is prohibited. • Individual groups are not allowed to arrange for privately catered on-site food or beverage service within concert boundaries.

Health & Safety. All COVID-19 related rules must be followed. City staff will inform the public of the current guidelines prior to the concert and upon entering a city facility. Safety protocols may include, but are not limited to, hand washing, temperature testing, requiring face coverings, and maintaining physical distancing of six feet.
