They promise to boost business, increase foot traffic, promote your business.
What they actually do is block access to your storefronts during the festivals, they invite outside vendors, place loud & obstructing equipment that drives away your customers, and they go into your pockets.

Can you really afford another $150 / $200 per month for supplemental services we do not need?
