The community meeting held Aug. 2 was conducted without Riot Fest management authorization and the contractor will be 'stepping down,' a spokesperson said.
Solano said that at Sunday’s gathering, elders from the bird-watching community spoke about how the music festivals affect the wildlife. Soccer coaches and players shared that, with the park being closed for festivals so frequently, they often had to travel to other parks to find fields for their practices and games.Georgina Haro, a 28-year-old Little Village resident and leader of a local running club, attended the demonstration with her three-legged dog, Gilda.
Haro said that despite Sunday’s rain, people were sharing free food and making posters. She said she had been following the issues with Douglass Park online, but was “riled up” after hearing about the community meeting with Riot Fest and was motivated to join the Sunday demonstration. “What’s going on in Douglass Park is the exact same thing as what happened in Humboldt Park,” he said. “I’m surprised it has taken this long for the voices to be united.”
