When does the location typically come available? Seems better to find a location first then set the dates to make sure availability of whats all needed is there to use?
They should have C5 fest here in Michigan weekend of August 7th. A week before the Woodward Cruise 8/16/2013 (the largest cruise in the world) The weekdays before the cruise there's activities and cruising going on down woodward ave. That way they could roll one event into another. Just say-in!
