About three dozen people in the crowd wore black T-shirts reading “Beyond The Fest,” a nod to the festival’s efforts to engage with and invest in the communities surrounding the park. Many in the crowd who rose in support of the festival came as part of Boxing Out Negativity, a North Lawndale-based nonprofit youth boxing program.
After the vote, resident Joel Novak said he was disappointed, but not surprised that the festival was a go. He acknowledged the benefits the festival has brought the neighborhood.“But I think ultimately it’s exploitative,” Novak said. “It’s just a lot more of an inconvenience. It’s loud. You get cut off from the park, obviously. Parking becomes a problem.”
“This is not the end. This is the start,” Park District Superintendent Rosa Escareño told the Tribune after the meeting. “If they want to continue in Douglass Park beyond this year, they have to remain committed to the community in the long haul.”
