Riot Fest to Host 3rd Community Day in Douglas Park

By Riot Fest / August 16, 2017August 16, 2017 / Chicago

Riot Fest will host its third and final Community Day at Douglas Park this Sunday, Aug 20th. This event consists of one part Beautification Initiative, one part Community Ticketing Registration, one part Job Fair and a bunch of love and hard work. The first two Community Days were a great success, and we’re expecting this last one to be nothing less.

DOUGLAS PARK BEAUTIFICATION INITIATIVE
This summer, we’ve been working hard to make sure Douglas Park, Riot Fest’s home in Chicago, stays beautiful. Riot Fest staff and volunteers will be hosting our third and final clean up of the summer by mulching trees, picking up trash, pulling weeds, planting flowers, and more.

From 10 AM to 2 PM:
Sunday, July 30th
Saturday, August 12th

Sunday, August 20th

*Due to a fantastic and overwhelming response, registration is now closed.

COMMUNITY TICKETING REGISTRATION
Riot Fest again invites its neighbors to come out and enjoy Riot Fest music festival, taking place in Douglas Park September 15th-17th, 2017.
Every year, we arrange for area residents to attend the festival free of charge, because

we value community inclusion and want our neighbors to feel that Riot Fest is not only something they can take part in, but also be proud of. We look forward to another weekend with our neighbors in September.

Ticket Registration will take place from 11am to 3pm:
Sunday, July 30th
Saturday, August 12th

Sunday, August 20th

A tent will be set up near Ogden & Sacramento in Douglas Park. Residents who are interested in attending the festival can come to this tent with the following items to confirm they live in the neighborhood:

  • Driver’s License, State Issued ID, or Passport
  • 2 pieces of official mail showing proof of residency (i.e. bank statement, utility bill, insurance card, pay stub)

Issuance of free entry for residents must meet the following requirements:

  • Must live within 4 block radius of Douglas Park
  • Boundaries are W Arthington to the North, S Spaulding to the West, W Cermak to the South, and S Rockwell to the East.
