For the past two years, the Waterfront Concerts series has kicked off with the Rise Above Fest, a daylong festival that brings nationally known metal acts to the city’s waterfront.
Although Sgt. Kevin MacLaren told the BDN that the department receives noise complaints for nearly every concert, the six reported on Saturday seemed lower than average.
