I live off the bayou and I volunteer at the boogaloo every year. It is a great event for the community!

There is a difference between a non-profit, giving back and a for profit looking to make more every event forever. The city should treat the two types of organizations differently.

Fight the power. This is all because of a few influential people who live by the bayou. They are a tiny tiny minority. Let's be heard louder than them!

The city needs to figure out ways to bring in money without driving away resident-driven events that have been so generous and successful in making an area BETTER to live in.

The individuals behind the Greener Bayou Coalition have an agenda. They do not own the bayou! It is a public space. Keep events free on the Bayou!

Please think carefully about the results of this attempt to raise the fees. It will not be positive. The Bayou Boogaloo is a critical component of bringing the Midcity area back. Don't shut it down.

Boogaloo has the potential to grow in importance and attract out of state visitors - who will leave something good behind. Don't kill the goose that's about to lay a golden egg!

Save all events along Bayou St John and keep them free, they belong to the public!

This is ridiculous! This is public space that the locals take care of and add to!

These proposed fees are a stab in the heart to the festival and organziation that has been leading the way in restoring the Bayou St. John tree canopy. Take a walk along the bayou and you you can see the trees. When something so wonderful as the Bayou Boogaloo is working so well for the community and our environment, why mess with if?

Why do they need more rent for a space that otherwise would host no events?

People who don't like music shouldn't live in the world's music capitol. You'd think anyone who can put up with New Orleans' murders, crime, bad schools, heinous politicians and terrible streets, you could put up with some music from time to time.
