Explanation
Background: In 2012, Columbus Recreation and Parks’ Application for Purpose, Pride and Success (APPS) program launched the first Cap City Nights (CCN) Festival season as an expansion of the APPS violence reduction strategy, which was modeled after the City of Los Angeles Summer Night Lights (SNL) initiative. SNL is an anti-gang initiative that keeps parks open after dark during the peak hours for gang activity with free food and expanded programming. CCN Festivals were held during the summer, traditionally the most violent months, and successfully empowered communities by offering outreach, live entertainment, active games, educational activities, and workshops for the entire family. Recreation and Parks will hire an event planner to assist with planning and programming the 2013 Cap City Nights Festivals.
Proposals were received by the Recreation and Parks Department on December 3, 2012 for the APPS Cap City Nights Festivals 2013 as follows:
