The Leesburg Performing Arts Commission convened on July 24, 2025, to discuss plans for upcoming community events and logistical considerations for performances. The meeting focused on gathering input from local artists and groups, with an emphasis on budgeting and scheduling for the next month.

The commission members agreed to spend August identifying potential performers and estimating costs to create a budget proposal for the town council's review in September. Discussions included outreach strategies to engage local talent, including the possibility of collaborating with care link groups known for their community performances.

Logistical challenges were a significant topic, particularly regarding the coordination of performers in public spaces. Members noted that the streets would remain open during events, which necessitated careful planning to avoid obstructing pedestrian traffic. Suggestions included assigning specific performance locations and times to ensure smooth transitions and minimize disruptions.

The commission also considered the timing of events, proposing a schedule from 10 AM to 3 PM to accommodate daylight and maximize attendance. They discussed the potential for 30-minute performance slots and the inclusion of various artistic activities, such as dance, to promote upcoming productions like "The Nutcracker."

As the meeting concluded, members emphasized the importance of finalizing the budget and performance schedule in August, with plans to present the proposal to the town council in September for approval. This structured approach aims to enhance community engagement through the arts while addressing logistical concerns effectively.
