DISTURBANCE OF THE PEACE: ANDREA MERIDA CITES DENVER MUNICIPAL CODE

Editor: Seems that Chive Fest in Denver’s City Park may have been illegal. Great find by Andrea Merida, former Denver School Board member, current activist and band member. Mayor Hancock and DPR will have to learn to play by the rules.

… from the Denver Municipal Code: Sec. 39-12. DISTURBANCE OF THE PEACE

(a)
It shall be unlawful for any person within any park, parkway, mountain park or other recreational facility to disturb the peace of others by violent, tumultuous, offensive or obstreperous conduct, or by loud or unusual noises, or by unseemly, profane, vulgar, obscene, or offensive language calculated to provoke a breach of the peace, or to assault, strike or fight another, or to in any other way breach the peace.
(b)
It shall be unlawful for any person within any park, mountain park or other recreational facility to use any sound amplification system in such a manner as to breach the peace and quiet of said park, mountain park or other recreational facility.
(Ord. No. 446-12, § 1, 9-10-12)
