The first Live After Five event of the year took place in downtown Anchorage on Thursday, bringing hundreds of people to Town Square Park.
The series of live performances, reserved only for the summer months, returned to a park that’s been hosting a large number of people experiencing homelessnessevent of the year took place in downtown Anchorage Thursday, bringing hundreds of people to Town Square Park, a place often highly populated with people experiencing homelessness in Alaska’s largest city.
“There’s definitely a lot more people in the park,” May said. “We have an amazing park service that cleans the park before the event. Our guys come down, and clean the park, so it’s really safe. It’s really clean.” “Today seems like we’ve done good so far,” she said. “Everybody seems to be doing well; it seems to be under control. I know it’s a growing problem, but hopefully not, hopefully no problems.”
McManus, who works at the Performing Arts Center that overlooks Town Square Park, said the park typically looks different from how it did on Thursday. She said that while everyone at the concert series could see people experiencing homelessness, whether inside the park or outside of it, everyone is welcome to the weekly Thursday event.
