[Lincolnparkdc] RFK Concert, again?

[Joanne Hatfield]

Thank you, Jessie, but regardless of their mission or whatever weather condition, their sound is far exceeding their audience and an acceptable noise level for a residential area. The noise reverberates off the buildings and it's been pounding inside my house and my head so that for hours I can't focus to work.The city needs to regulate maximum acceptable decibel levels and monitor it for such events as well as cut-off times. And, as awful as it's been today, we're going to be subjected to this again tomorrow, unfortunately.

RFK has a lot of empty space, and some of it has been transformed into "Festival Grounds" for various events, which I think is kind of cool because, well, it's pretty much unused. During COVID of 2020 (or was it 2021?--who knows?!) there was a huge open-air drive-in theater there, and even a bunch of moving, roaring dinosaurs that families could drive through and experience. Granted, those weren't so loud. But I think the Broccoli City Festival is also kind of cool. It describes itself online as "a Black owned social enterprise . . .  that focuses on people and progress. We foster creative and community growth by building innovative experiences that intersect music, art and social impact." Their mission is to "mobilize our community to celebrate and advance Black culture and communities."
After the loud music last weekend, Capitol Weather Gang's Matthew Cappucci noted: "Why did so many people far and wide hear the sound of the concert at RFK stadium? An inversion. Surface cooled off, warm air was left above, and that acted like a ceiling for the lower atmosphere. Sound bounced and traveled." Given the heavy weather today, that may be contributing. At the same time, lots of people celebrating in a space that is otherwise abandoned and empty can be, as I said, kind of cool.
DCist also reports that given the loud music last weekend bouncing and traveling around Capitol Hill, the Broccoli Festival will end at 10 p.m. tonight.
--Cheers from Jessie on 11th

Is anyone else slowly being driven insane by the loud thumping music that has interrupted our lives for the second straight weekend?   I think this time it's the "Broccoli City Festival"?  

Does anyone know if we can expect this kind of thing permanently?  Does anyone have any ideas how we might mobilize to stop this?
