Raleigh's Dreamville fest replacement remains a mystery
WRAL, NEWS.
>> LIVE IN CARY.
>> TODAY, MANY MUSIC FANS WOULD
HAVE BEEN GEARING UP FOR THE
ANNUAL DREAMVILLE FESTIVAL.
IT WRAPPED UP ITS FINAL YEAR
LAST SPRING WITH THE PROMISE
OF ANOTHER MUSIC FESTIVAL AT
DIX PARK WRAL'S ALI CATTLE BARR
JOINS US LIVE FROM SPARK THIS
MORNING. AN ALLEY, A NEW YOU'VE
BEEN SPEAKING WITH CITY
OFFICIALS. WHAT DOES THE CITY
REALLY HAVE PLANNED IN TERMS OF
ANOTHER FESTIVAL?
>> AND THERE'S NO DEFINITIVE
WORD ON A FESTIVAL TAKING OVER
DIX PARK THIS APRIL. BUT THE
CITY DOES TELL ME IT IS WORKING
WITH DREAMVILLE ORGANIZERS.
>> TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO OF
DREAMVILLE LAST YEAR. THE MUSIC
FESTIVAL TRADITIONALLY HAPPENED
THE FIRST WEEKEND OF APRIL IN
DIX PARK. ORGANIZERS ANNOUNCED
ABOUT A YEAR AGO THAT A NEW
MUSIC FESTIVAL WOULD BE TAKING
OVER. SINCE THEN. THERE'S BEEN
LITTLE INFORMATION SHARED ON
WHAT THAT NEW FESTIVAL WOULD
BE. WRAL INVESTIGATES OF TEEN
DOCUMENTS OF THE CITY'S
AGREEMENT WITH FESTIVAL
ORGANIZERS LAST MONTH. THEY
SAY THE ORGANIZERS COULD HOLD
FESTIVALS AT DIX PARK THROUGH
2029, BUT THEY ARE NOT
OBLIGATED TO DO SO. THE CITY
OF RALEIGH TOLD US BACK IN
MARCH IT WAS DISCUSSING OTHER
POSSIBLE DATES WITH THE
ORGANIZERS SINCE THE
TRADITIONAL WEEKEND OF DREAM,
THOUGH, FELL ON EASTER THIS
YEAR. WE REACHED OUT AGAIN
YESTERDAY IN IT SAID THE CITY
IS WORKING WITH DREAM. THE
ORGANIZERS FOR ANOTHER POSSIBLE
DATE.
>> YEAH, AND WE ARE STILL
ASKING ORGANIZERS THESE
QUESTIONS. WHAT WOULD THAT NEW
FESTIVAL BE? WHAT WOULD FEATURE
AND WHAT WOULD BE CALLED?
WE'RE STAYING ON TOP OF THIS
