For six nights in February, Fort Mose Historic State Park in St. Augustine will play host to concerts celebrating Black History Month.
“Anytime we have an opportunity to book openers that are local and integrate our local talents with these artists, we want to do it,” Pellicer said.
Pellicer said great care is taken when putting up the stage and seating for the concerts to not disturb the environment. Capacity will vary for each show – 610 seats for McBride and June, nearly 1,100 for Knight, who has sold out her show – and all seats are reserved. The stage comes on semi-trailers that unfold on site.
“We did it last year,” Pellicer said. “You definitely have to get equipment that has soft tires, you have to be mindful of the grass. You have to have some pros out there.” They’ll also bring in restroom trailers and vendors for the shows. There will be no parking at the park or in the surrounding neighborhood for the concerts; shuttles will run from a free parking lot at theon San Sebastian View, about four minutes from the park. Shuttles will start at 5 p.m. and run for an hour after the shows end. Pellicer said they will use the same shuttles the city uses for the just-concluded Nights of Lights event.
Concerts are rain or shine – the performers will be under cover, but the audience won’t be. Because the park is surrounded by marsh, Pellicer said he’ll keep an eye on the weather and be in touch with the county’s mosquito-control department if it looks like bugs will be a problem.All shows are at Fort Mose Historic State Park. Doors open at 6 p.m., showtime is 7 p.m. Tickets are available throughYou name an honor, Staples has earned it.
