Lots of young people expected at this weekend’s @FVDEDinthePARK festival. We know it’s hard to talk to your kids about drugs, but be aware what drugs surface at these events and can be mixed with #fentanyl. More info: https://t.co/1BaGSZKljT pic.twitter.com/YzBRzS3Yw9

A few things I’ve learned at #FVDED2019 day 1
1. DONT wear new white shoes
2. All the girls are nice
3. White boys on molly love to mosh pit
4. Contact high is a real thing— Mitchell Redpath (@mitchellreddd) July 6, 2019
While those attending the concert had fun, there were some that had issues with it.
I'm five blocks away from #FVDED2019 and it is still annoyingly loud. 😠 How does this not violate city noise bylaws?

Fvded was not my type of crowd. I’m definitely going to see @elohimmusic when it’s an only her show, even if I have to fly away from home for it. 💖🦋
