Tomorrow night is the next Police/Community Forum which will be held at at the Richmond Recreation Center, 251 18th Avenue from 7-8pm. The meeting will discuss the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival, which is scheduled for August 28 to 30 this year in Golden Gate Park.
Last year’s festival drew 150,000 people to Golden Gate Park over a 3-day period. “The weekend marked several firsts: the first time a concert occurred after dark in Golden Gate Park and the first time in recent memory that a multiday concert occurred on a Recreation and Park Department property” according to an article from last year’s Chronicle.
Despite the festival’s success, many Richmond residents did complain about the noise and traffic, hence the need for discussion at Tuesday night’s meeting. So if you were affected last year and have some ideas about how to better balance the festival’s needs with the rest of the neighborhood’s, be sure to stop by.
