They do have this to a lesser extent in my town, sometimes with the EU giving some money. if the tax money is also going back to the council and it can be proven it (and we all pay some heavy tax on beer) then even the “free market” lot can’t complain.
I expect the public sector might even make a small profit from this event, there are hardly any cops or ambulances compared to something similar in the UK.
in my area they do not turn up just for the fun of it, they can (and do) show off their vehicles at the countryside show in less stressful situations, they are there because they are needed to get people who have overdone it to a place of safety.
The young people in Norfolk did a licensed event a few years back and it needed air ambulance helicopter because someone had OD’d – the event crew didn’t even follow up what happened to him, I had to look on the Police press office website to check (he made a full recovery in hospital thanks to our NHS). I think I ended up sending £20 donation to the air ambulance myself as that is run as a charity in the UK (land ambulances are paid for from NHS budget).

TBH I think it must surely be one of the main music events in Northern Europe by now as NL and DE are not doing so many non commercialised events nor are they advertising them as internationally as before.
