Didn't they try that with St Patrick's day a couple years ago?
I believe there was an event organized that had 1) admission costs, 2) no entertainment and a single vendor 3) was in another location.
It was still the city/school trying to control and direct or even minimize the event instead of organizing to what people actually want, which is a big party on Ezra St.
A real attempt to organize the event, in my opinion would be 1) free admission (like most of the festivals in KW) 2) Have multiple vendors and entertainment of some kind 3) Be located on Ezra possibly spilling onto King or Albert.
