TT entertainment on Douglas Promenade will once again be based at the Sea Terminal end this year.
During last year's Centenary event, extra space was needed to cater for the huge crowds - and the section opposite the Villa Marina - Harris Promenade - was pressed into service.
There were a host of extra sideshows, bars and outlets - but this year the open-air entertainment zone may revert to much as it was pre-2007.
Duke Marketing staged last year's one-off street party.
Managing Director Peter Duke (pictured) says this aspect of the TT festival needs to move forward each year:
Onchan election result stands but Edge loses votes
'Not realistic' to say road fuel increases create a specific windfall in VAT
