LA Weekly Chronicles Sunset Junction Festival Fallout

It wasn’t just ticket holders feeling burned by the Sunset Junction Street Fair’s cancellation. The LA Weekly reports that musical acts and local businesses are smarting from lost revenue. And the festival’s would-be vendors are feeling downright shafted:

Carols Guillen, who was planning to sell smoothies at the festival, says Sunset Junction owes him $1400 for the cost of his booth and a deposit. That comes in addition to the $1000 he spent on supplies.

“I got a voicemail the day before the festival letting us know it was cancelled,” Guillen says, adding that this would have been the first year his family-run Lacuma Smoothies had a stand at Sunset Junction.
