Sunset Junction Music Festival CANCELLED
Despite some last minute scrambling by festival organizers to pay $141,000 in city fees, including asking for donations from a community already being charged $25 per ticket, this weekend’s Sunset Junction Street Fair is a no-go. Today the L.A. Board of Public Works voted to deny the fair’s needed permits.
Concert promoters LiveNation reportedly donated $100,000 to the cause, but organizers failed to bring the required funds to today’s board hearing.
From the LA Times:
[Eric] Garcetti spokesman Yusef Robb said the councilman supported the board’s decision and accused festival organizers of trying to “flimflam $400,000 from the taxpayers.”
