modifier - describes a subject, object, complement etc.
headword - The word being modified
First is correct.
Second 'outdoor' modifies the modifier 'entertainment' hence it is - a premodifier, Headword is 'venues'

O.o I'm not sure what these "head word" and "premodifiers are, but Harbourfront is describing the noun "area". Harborfrount is describing the "area".
So
area=noun
harbourfront=adjective
outdoor and entertainment are both being used to describe the noun "venues".
