Noise Complaints Overshadow Escapade Music Festival The highly anticipated Escapade Music Festival, held over the weekend, was marred by a surge in noise complaints that reached near-deafening levels. According to police reports, over 500 noise complaints were lodged by residents living near the festival grounds at Lansdowne Park. Residents reported windows rattling, sleep disturbances, and excessive noise levels that made it impossible to enjoy their homes. “It was like living in a war zone,” said one resident who lives within a few blocks of the festival. “The noise was so loud that it gave me a headache and made it impossible to sleep.” The complaints prompted police to issue a series of noise violation citations to festival organizers. Several stages were shut down temporarily until noise levels subsided. However, the festival continued throughout the weekend, with complaints persisting into the early hours of the morning. “We understand that music festivals can be noisy,” said Police Chief Peter Sloly. “But the level of noise at Escapade was unacceptable. We had to take action to protect the health and well-being of the community.” Festival organizers apologized for the excessive noise and said they were working with police to mitigate the problem in the future. They noted that the festival was located in a densely populated area and that the large crowds and massive sound systems contributed to the noise levels. “We are committed to being a good neighbor,” said Escapade Festival Director Karl Wendl. “We will work with the community and the authorities to ensure that future events are held responsibly and with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.” The noise complaints have cast a shadow over an otherwise successful festival that featured top-tier DJs and a diverse lineup of electronic dance music. However, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of balancing the right to gather and enjoy music with the rights of local residents to peace and quiet.Escapade Music Festival Generates Noise ComplaintsEscapade Music Festival Generates Noise Complaints Ottawa’s Bylaw Services reported receiving numerous complaints regarding loud music and noise emanating from the Escapade Music Festival over the weekend.
