I live in the Parkview Neighborhood near Bayou St. John and am embarrassed for my fellow neighbors that would want to take a free, public space and charge people to utilize it. Please keep the Bayou Free!

To whom it may concern, Bayou Boogaloo is apart of the fabric of New Orleans culture don't kill it with fees but instead work with the organizers to come up with a win win that keeps the fest free while preserving the bayou.

I LOVE Bayou Boogaloo. The city should value and protect this excellent festival, not punish it.

We enjoy this fest every year, especially because we live right on the bayou. Just some important information for those who don't know, the land on the bayou is NOT owned by the city! It is owned by the State of Louisiana according to historical documents. So one must wonder how the city can charge a foundation when there is no ownership. This is solely a city issue, definitely not the Greener Bayou St John Coalition. The negative article just came out at the same time as Susan Guidry's permit announcement, as well as the city noice ordinance issue. Let's separate this mad festival shake-down from the good intentions of the Coalition. Long live Bayou Boogaloo!

I wonder how the asshats came up with the $10K figure. How much of that money will go back to the neighborhood? My guess is zero.

Why would the City of New Orleans want to kill off culture, music and a free venue? Enough is enough.

This is one of the best festivals in New Orleans. A genuinely fantastic event for the entire family. The free admission gets the people there. The great food, vendors, and entertainment gets the people to open their wallets and support the local economy. Keep it free!

I support the use of bayou St. John to host the annual Mid-City Bayou boogaloo, also to resind the excessive proposed rental hike.

This fest brings attention to the Bayou St. John neighborhood, by locals, not folks who visit the city one time a ear for jazz fest. This festival helps keep the cultural traditions alive in NOLA as well as generates revenue for local businesses. Any opposition to this is lost on me. I don't see what the downside is to benefitting local charities and creating a positive environment for locals to enjoy in the slow month of May in NOLA. This festival has also been known to bring revelers in from all over the country at a time in which the city could really use a spark.
