Some Residents Didn’t Feel The Love Of The Electric Love Festival

Agassiz -JULY 31 UPDATE – The third annual electric Love Fest was a blast of light and sound. The thousands that made it to the show enjoyed perfect festival weather.
That was not the case for many locals who took to social media complaining of “drug fueled zombies walking in the middle of the street”, as well as traffic jams that always come with any major show of this kind.
Noise complaints also came fast and furious and the neighbours wondered aloud, why there were no noise by law rules enforced. With the great weather, comes sleeping with the windows open. But for many, that could not be done with the thumping of the electronic sounds booming from the venue.
FVN reached out to the organizers of the festival for their comment. It appears they got an earful from neighbours and saw the on line flaming as well.
“As with any large event, there will unfortunately be heightened traffic and noise in the area. We understand that Agassiz has had an influx of festivals over the past few weeks which can be disruptive to local residents. While we regret any inconvenience, we have been working closely with the RCMP on daily basis to address any concerns.”
Did you go to the show and what did you think? Were you affected by the festival in a positive/negative way? Feel free to comment below.
