Residents raise traffic, safety and waste concerns about proposed multi-day music event on town land

A resident spoke at length about a proposal from an event promoter (identified in discussion as C3 Presents) to hold a multi-day, ticketed music event on town acreage. The resident said the company would supply staging, power, water and portable sanitation and that the promoter had suggested the event could return annually and donate a share of proceeds back to host towns: "they donate back part of the proceeds to the town that they're posting the event in most towns six figures back," the resident said.

Board members and planning-board representatives noted the promoter is scheduled to meet the Planning Board on June 6 and emphasized that land-use and access issues must be resolved there. Trustees repeatedly flagged traffic management, on-site security versus off-site crowds, and egress after a multi‑thousand-person exit as concerns that fall to the Planning Board and any permitting process.
