NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — Thousands of people are expected to gather on the Great Lawn in Central Park this weekend for the Global Citizen Festival, a fundraising concert aimed at fighting world poverty and hunger. But forecasts calling for heavy rain and wind have renewed concerns about potential damage to the lawn.
The stage was nearly set up on the Great Lawn ahead of Saturday’s event. Organizers are hoping this year’s weather does not mirror recent years, when rain has become a familiar part of the festival.
The event was affected by significant rainfall in two of the past three years. In 2023, a storm moved through during the concert, and heavy foot traffic left parts of the lawn heavily damaged. The area was closed for repairs that took two months.
(excerpted)
The “We are the World” gang keeps trying.
They’re going to get it too.
They really think that it will work.
One day that ‘peace’ deal will come
and be confirmed by the Man of Sin.
Then they’ll all line up for the charagma
tattoo on the Right Hand OR Forehead.
I doubt that there’s anyone planning on
attending The Global Citizen Festival
that understands what this will all become.
Because they’re too smart 🤓 for all
of that nonsense written in the Bible.
It will be interesting to see what the
United Nations has to say about all this.
What with Ban Ki Moon attending and
worshiping Obama back in 2014.
What will the current guy say?
Look for ‘Free Palestine’ signs at
The Global Citizen Festival this year.
Thanks so much. All blessings are greatly appreciated.
