Superfly and the City of Denver announced on Thursday, April 27, that they would be moving forward with contract negotiations on a project that would bring a massive music festival to the city-owned Overland Park Golf Course.

Some readers wrote in with enthusiasm about the project; others accused the city of selling out our public parks.

Here are a few of the comments:

Will you step up to support Westword this year?

We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.

$50,000

It needs to be banned. Denver step in don’t allow the dirtbags to trash our community like the 4/20 scum did!

Whiners…This is great for the local economy. Look up what Outside Lands does.


What do you think? Will a new music festival on this publicly owned golf course be a benefit for the city or a scourge for the community?
