You uncover me penning this letter at the finish of what was built—the culmination of the wildest journey Riot Fest has traveled.

Several weeks ago, I had adequate. I was tired of Riot Fest continually getting the lowest hanging fruit. I was tired of playing their games.

And—allow me to be as clear as the azure sky of the deepest summer time-our exodus is solely due to the fact of the Chicago Park District. Their lack of care for the neighborhood, you, and us, in the end left us no selection.

But then there is Alderwoman Monique Scott. She is righteous. Caring. Passionate. She is one particular of us. The hardest conversation I’ve had relating to our departure was with her. It was filled with tears and sadness due to the fact Riot Fest has actual which means inside the 24th Ward and vice versa. We’re not abandoning the neighborhood right here… we’re taking them on this journey as properly.

Though our curtains may perhaps have closed in Douglass Park, yet another one particular has opened.

So maybe for one particular final time, enable your humble guide to take you to the front gates of a location exactly where all of you can opt for your personal adventures. That would imply the planet to me and the good friends we’re bringing along due to the fact without having you—the fans—there would be no soul to what we do.
