AMPHITHEATER CONCERT RULES CHANGE

The Bakersfield City Council has approved closing much of the Park at River Walk for concerts.The area to be cordoned off is around Bright House amphitheater when there are concerts. Wednesday night’s vote follows problems of people congregating outside the theater to listen to the shows without paying. About half the park and the area behind the stage will close starting three hours before paid events.
