Most downtown residents support the festivals. The festivals are not just for a few hours, they are 12 hrs, most weekends both days. The problem is the level of noise. When you are on the street the noise from the festival is one thing but when you choose to go home you need for the music to not be deafening in your home. We want to have the festivals at Exchange Place, but the festivals must take the quality of life of the people that live in the area into consideration. I would support any other area in JC to enjoy their time at home as well.
