This week, the music festival Rosendal Garden Party kicked off with highlights such as The strokes, Snoh Aalegra, The National and Tyler, the creator.
The festival takes place on Ståthållarängen, a protected nature area and now Djurgården's local community association criticizes the Royal Djurgården's administration for renting out the place to the organizers.
Carl-Fredrik Paléus is chairman of Djurgården's local history association and believes that the months of May and June are a particularly sensitive period because wild animals are born and hatch, but also species that bloom.
The criticism is partly about the roadblocks around the festival area, the time of the festival and the sound volume.
"Animals are excluded"
- It is a large area that is fenced off with high fences.
It is natural that you do for plankers but also the animals are excluded and that in itself creates a stress (for them).
Then of course the sound also has a strong effect.
We have local residents here who report that they had 60 decibels indoors, says Carl-Fredrik Paléus to Kulturnyheterna.
He does not want to stop the festival, he would like to take place in another place instead.
- It feels so boring to be a form of joy killer during a folk festival.
I'm going to see Rammstein myself this summer and am very much for this.
But this place for this festival is completely wrong at this time of year, he says.
Kulturnyheterna has applied for the Royal Djurgården's administration.
