(B) No permit shall be required, however, for street musicians or other performers of the arts who are exercising their right of free speech on the aforementioned public properties except that the musicians and performers shall not be permitted to perform within the area of an event for which the town has already granted a permit for a specified activity including, but not limited to, the Chestertown Tea Party, event parades, Downrigging Weekend, the Tea Time Tour, Crazy Days and the Chestertown Wildlife Festival.
