Contention over summer music festivals in city neighborhoods and their impact on locals.
This summer hundreds of thousands of music lovers will descend on the city for its annual music festivals. Lollapalooza may be the biggest, but tens of thousands of people head to parks around the city for festivals like Pitchfork and Riot Fest. And that impact on public land is a point of contention for some neighbors who live near the parks.
