re: SRC - Where to hold the events? Need your help!

I would like to start advertising the times and locations of the Spring Racing Carnival events starting tomorrow morning if at all possible. That will give everyone a week to distribute the information. To that end, I need your suggestions about where to hold them.
Last year, we held the concert, horse show, and horse parade in front of Bree town hall. The contestants paraded up the center path. The horse show folks made a big S along the three paths. The concert was held atop a boulder. It's not ideal because there's not a lot of space. However, it does have the benefit of having clearly marked paths that we can ask people to clear.
We could possibly hold it in the "park", that hilly, grassy area surrounded by hedges across from the jail. It has the benefits of being bigger and putting the "show" up on the hill where it's easier to see. It has the drawback that there's no clearly marked path for the horses to parade along.
We could hold it at the farm near the west gate. The "stage" area could be the slightly raised part of the hill near the house. The horses could "parade" around the crowd, going along the fence line.
There is also the open, flat location where the fireworks quest is currently taking place.
The stage area near the Pony is unfortunately too small of an area for the crowd we're likely to attract. (At least, we hope. We aren't getting the same advertising this year that we did last year from Turbine.)
We could have the events in different locations, but they happen back-to-back, so it would be easiest to allow everyone to stay in the same place.
So, what do you think? If you can, please picture Bree in your mind or take a quick trip around it, and suggest where to hold these events. Thank you!

I like this because it's a bit different and it sounds less cluttered than the other suggested spaces.

Please folks, answer this poll? The event is only a week away. I need to know where things will happen for the advertisements. There is going to be so much to do in the final days, I'd love to get this done now before things are crazy hectic. Thanks!

I voted for the town hall. There are good ground landscape markers to direct the crowd and it feels like a more "civic" event. We may be squished together, but that will only heighten the feeling of being in a crowd at a race.

I like the Town Hall area, even if there are some obstacles. Herding people around town between events is not necessarily a good idea either. That said, the Windview Estate area has a defined pathway (not the fences/farm, up by the road/bldgs). If the Festival is extended, we don't want to be up in the fireworks field.

yeah, I'm with the town hall as well - I understand it can cause some issues, but it's central, and very well laid out for the way in which we've done the various events in the past, plus, as some have mentioned, it also lends an air of "official" to the bree town hall, which I don't think gets enough credit for being important to the town of Bree, sometimes...
still, I'm not married to the idea, and if you decide to hold it somewhere else, I'll cope :)

One more ding against the jail park--it is on a slope, which causes all sorts of weirdness for events. Horses stand crooked, players dance into the hillside like wading into custard. Slopes and events don't mix.

If slopes are a problem, the only candidates are the town hall, fireworks hill, and scholar's stair.
We'll do it at the town hall.
