RiotFest, Chicago commits to offering millions in community payback through PB

RiotFest is a long running music festival in the city of Chicago. As part of its commitment to the community that hosts this largescale but a times disruptive event, it has agreed a generous community payback scheme, in association with Chicago’s parks department.

“The Riot Fest multi-year agreement includes significant community benefits, including up to $4.5 million in revenue that supports park programs citywide, of which an approximate $1 million give back in capital investment will be made in Douglass Park, to be allocated via a participatory budgeting process… The Park District also announced the pilot of its first-ever participatory budgeting process to give community members input on how the give back will be spent.”
