Tacos & Tequila had less noise complaints this year from Franklin residents.
But the new Phase Fest that took place the following day on Franklin Field at Ballpark Commons, 7035 South Ballpark Drive, was a different story, with many angered over loud noise and profanity echoing through area neighborhoods.
Ballpark Commons hosted the second Tacos & Tequila event on June 22. The inaugural event last year was met with a lot of backlash with many complaining about noise, parking and more.
This year, some said the event went smoother, but the festival was cut short due to severe thunderstorms, meaning headliner Ludacris was only briefly on stage.
Comparing complaint numbers year-over-year
The number of noise complaints were down for Tacos & Tequila, with police registering 18 of them during the 2023 event but just eight this year.
While these noise numbers are improved for Tacos & Tequila, 25 residents took offense to both the phrases used at Phase Fest and the sound levels of the event and put in noise complaints to police.
