Hope they get enough each event.The Bicycle Coalition of Maine has bike valet parking and they have a bunch of people cheering and ringing cowbells whenever someone rides up to their parking area!
Occasionally sometimes bike parking valet areas, offer a raffle. At the farmers' markets, you can donate some change money..convenient after people finish shopping.
An event doesn't need to be environmentally focused or whatever to attract cycling as an option. As I said, for outdoor Shakespearean plays, etc.
Outdoor events are a convenient, tippy-toe way for event organizers to try bike parking/encourage cycling: people might be less fussy worrying about sweat, looking very formal, etc. when arriving ... If you are older than the hip younger generation, arriving by bike, would slash those stereotypes about the aging folks.
