Ting Pavilion's highly anticipated 2021
season opening on June 18,
2021
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.,
June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Today,
Red Light Management and the Charlottesville Pavilion announced a
five year partnership with Ting Internet that will see Charlottesville's leading outdoor
entertainment venue renamed as Ting Pavilion. The venue's highly
anticipated 2021 season will open on June
18 with the return of Fridays After Five.
Ting Internet, a division of Tucows (NASDAQ: TCX, TSX: TC),
has been a proud member of the Charlottesville, Virginia community since
2014. Over the past seven years the company has expanded its fiber
internet footprint to service more neighborhoods and has launched a
number of successful digital divide and community-focused
initiatives to give back to the residents of Charlottesville.
"We are thrilled to partner with Red Light Management and the
Charlottesville Pavilion to bring the joy of music and
entertainment back to the community after such a trying year," said
Kara Chandeysson, City Manager, Ting
Internet. "The Pavilion is such an integral part of Charlottesville, acting as an economic driver
for downtown and as a cultural landmark within the state. We have
always believed in being a true community partner wherever we
operate and we're thrilled to continue playing our part here in the
city."
This city-owned and privately managed venue has been a staple
within the Charlottesville arts
and culture community for over 15 years. Since opening in 2005, the
Pavilion has presented legendary performers like James Brown and Willie
Nelson along with some of the most beloved contemporary
artists — including Arcade Fire, Leon
Bridges, Chris Stapleton,
Brandi Carlile, Snoop Dogg, and The
Lumineers — and has established itself as a leading community hub,
hosting a number of nonprofit events and acting as an economic
driver for Charlottesville's
historic downtown.
"Ever since the Pavilion opened, we've had several overarching
goals: to elevate the arts and culture scene, to drive business for
the downtown community and to give back to our city," said
Kirby Hutto, General Manager of the
Ting Pavilion. "With community initiatives as a cornerstone of
their operations, Ting embodies everything we look for in a
partner. This rebranding marks an exciting new chapter for the arts
scene here in Charlottesville and
we're excited to kick-off this great partnership with the
highly-anticipated return of outdoor performances."
The Ting Pavilion will continue to host the highly-popular and
long-running Fridays After Five concert series each Friday through
the summer months, kicking off on June
18 with local favorites Chamomile and Whiskey with an
opening set by Shagwuf.
As part of the 2021 reopening, management at the Ting Pavilion
has assured that the HVAC in the restrooms provides an abundance of
fresh air circulation and will introduce new contactless payment
options for concession stands to limit touch-points. The venue will
continue to monitor and adhere to CDC and State COVID policies as
they evolve.
The formal venue renaming is pending Charlottesville City
Council approval, which will be voted on Monday, June 7.
