Sunset Junction Music Festival Denied Permit

 

Sunset Junction was once again, and finally, denied a permit for this weekend's planned festival by the LA Board of Public Works.  Despite organizers' eleventh hour efforts to produce the fees for this year's event.

On Monday, the Board of Public Works voted 3-1 to deny the permits for the yearly Silver Lake festival, but they did allow the possibility that they might reconsider if the festival produced the fees owed to the city. 

The board lecutred about the event's finance, and marked by the absence of festival head Michael McKinley, saw tearful testimony from festival supporters, but the email campaigns and testimonies of festival opponents carried the day. In the end, the Board of Public Works was unimpressed with the efforts of festival organizers and voted unanimously to deny the permit.

The cancellation of this year's event throws its future into doubt.
