No Major Incidents Reported at Moonrise Festival

Great news for the electronic dance music community. The Baltimore Sun has reported that no major incidents occurred over the course of the entire weekend.

The second and final day of the first Moonrise Festival, the electronic dance music event that attracted thousands to Pimlico Race Course over the weekend, appeared to be running smoothly Sunday evening, city officials said. At 9 p.m., a Baltimore Fire Department spokesman said 10 concertgoers had been transported to a hospital Sunday afternoon, all for minor injuries. Spokesman Ian Brennan said the medical needs of the crowd were what would be expected for an event of that size.

Having wrapped up Sunday, August 9 after two days of unrelenting sounds being dumped in to thousands of ears, Moonrise Festival was flawlessly executed.

As much as the media loves to break down the EDM scene, this goes to show that a properly run event can avoid disaster and that we are capable of coming together for the sheer enjoyment of music.
