Poll respondents are being asked about which time frame they would prefer. According to Luca Palladino, of NDG Arts Week, about 250 people have responded so far.
Respondents can also choose their preferred attraction.
“From the recent surveys I can tell you the number one thing that comes up is open-air terrace bar,” Palladino said. He also said his organization is listening carefully to complaints of potential noise, garbage and traffic that are surfacing.
If the festival comes off, Palladino said it would likely take place over a three-day weekend during either June, July or August. He said the expected budget would be between $100,000 and $200,000.
