Cedar Fest
Cedar Fest was a celebration held in East Lansing, Michigan. The event, which started in the 70s, was originally a semiannual party that occurred during the months of May and October. The event was held in Cedar Village, a densely populated student neighborhood bordering the Michigan State University campus. The event took off in the 80s and was regularly attended by thousands. Several riots ensued from the parties and property owners along with the city decided to put an end to the event. In 1987 the event was banned by an injunctive order issued by Judge Carolyn Stell. For many years it was not held.〔(The State News: Cedar Fest a mess )〕
==2008 revival==
Cedar Fest saw a revival in 2008, 21 years after the city had officially banned the event. The revival, which began as a campaign on Facebook as early as January, promised a "weekend long party" that would take place "throughout all of Cedar Village."〔(More Cedar Fest arrests likely | lansingstatejournal.com | Lansing State Journal )〕 It drew up to 4,000 party goers and was officially declared an unlawful assembly as police launched 24 smoke grenades, 20 flash bangs, 20 stingball grenades and 13 rounds of tear gas to disperse the out-of-control crowd.〔 Some revelers threw bottles, cans and bricks at police officers, while two city vehicles' windows were broken, and at least four fires were set.〔 East Lansing police Chief Tom Wibert remarked that the event "got to the point where I don’t see how we could have dispersed that crowd without tear gas." In fact, Wibert said after the police used flash bangs and smoke bombs, some students began to chant for tear gas.〔〔 The "riot" cost close to $10,000 in damages and resulted in 52 arrests, 28 of them being MSU students. Police estimated that about 5% of MSU's student population was at the event. Not a single citizen's complaint was made against the police regarding this riot, a complete turn around from the flood of complaints which occurred following the riot after the NCAA loss in 2005.
Observers noted that police were more restrained compared to their handling of the 2005 riot after MSU's Final Four loss. In that incident, police began using tear gas just 15 minutes after crowds formed, launching 299 canisters in total.〔 Eight members of the Lansing branch of the ACLU were on hand to monitor police actions during the 2008 Cedar Fest and afterwards complimented police on how the incident was handled.〔
At a press conference following the event, Wibert said:
