What is a common example of a public nuisance during community events?

A public nuisance is an unreasonable interference with a right common to the public. In the context of community events, blocking access to public pathways can significantly disrupt normal traffic flow, inhibit access to public spaces, and create hazards for pedestrians and vehicular movement. This disruption affects the community at large rather than just individuals, thus fitting the definition of a public nuisance.

Excessive parking fees imposed by vendors may create dissatisfaction among attendees but would not typically fall under the category of a public nuisance in the same way, as it does not directly obstruct public access or use of shared spaces. High attendance creating a positive community atmosphere reflects a beneficial outcome rather than a nuisance, and while local businesses may thrive due to increased foot traffic, that benefit does not interfere with public rights, distinguishing it from the characteristics of a public nuisance.
