So disappointing that they aren't doing it on high street, my family was really excited about this event in our community. I would be interested in hearing an expert opinion on the substance of the safety concerns. And for the neighbors who don't enjoy having a music festival on their street, I would hope they would see the joy it brings their community, and accommodate their neighbors for a day.
It's very disappointing it won't be held this year. It was wonderful last year but I took a look and said "they will never do this again." There will be ton of excuses why it doesn't happen, too late, too much money, can't sign bands, can't find a date at Ives, bla bla bla. It comes down to money - no money into the big pockets in town. And why are the police and fire dept telling us the citizens what to do? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Let us evaluate the risks and go or not. Is it really more dangerous than the events at the Barlow where the streets are all closed?
