Used to work in venues division of Plano Parks and Rec. There are public events (e. g. Beatles Night) open to everyone. Follow Plano Arts and Events on FB to stay advised on what’s coming up. Parks’ performance venues like Courtyard Theater and the special events field and amphitheater at Red Tail can also be rented by third-party groups for events. The group is responsible for promoting and running the event, so information about it won’t appear on city media. — Note: I believe policy now is that McCall Plaza in downtown hosts only city-sponsored performances and events. You’ll read about the bigger ones on the PA&E page, but there are regular smaller drop-in live music performances in the evening during good-weather months on Fridays/Saturdays.
