Chicago Park District unanimously approves Riot Fest permit

After a small amount pushback from Douglass Park residents, Riot Fest is officially confirmed for Douglass Park this year. The festival that is bringing Foo Fighters, Death Cab for Cutie, The Cure, and others to the South Side this year had been dealing with vocal neighbors who don’t want the festival in their backyard.

The Park District voted unanimously to approve the Riot Fest permits.
