There were rumblings about this mythical multi-day festival in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens circulating the internet. The festival was to be the Queens version of Coachella, coincidentally the same promoters behind Coachella, AEG, were the driving force to get this event off the ground. The NY Daily News were the first to report that the city Parks Department rejected all three proposals to host the event.
“Parks reviewed all permit applications thoroughly,” said Parks Commissioner Mitchell Silver. “While we are heartened by the interest in one of Queens’ most historic parks, our primary concern is ensuring the park is available for the many New Yorkers who call Flushing Meadows Corona Park their backyard.”
