Community Festivals: Takoma Park vs. DC

Takoma Park has a couple of big festivals, the Street Festival, Takoma Park JazzFest and the Takoma Park Folk Festival. The city provides some financial support to these festivals. The City of Takoma Park does not charge the festivals for trash removal or for police services. DC charges for such services. (Although it is possible to get support from the Mayor's Constitutent Services Fund to cover the cost of police services.) And the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities is providing some support to neighborhood festivals.
