TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Organizers say there will not be a makeup event after this year's Springtime Tallahassee Jubilee was cancelled due to rain.
The Springtime Board shared the news with vendors Monday morning, citing multiple issues.
According to the statement, organizers were unable to find a location that does not require road closures or significant cost. Another issue finding enough volunteer support.
In past years, more than 200 vendors from across the region are downtown all day during Springtime Tallahassee.
This year, there was only the Grand Parade. Several Vendors were upset about the cancellation.
The Springtime Board did agree to add a back-up location for future festivals.
The full statement sent to vendors Monday morning is below:
Dear Vendors,
We appreciate your kind and generous responses to the previous email regarding the cancellation of the 2018 Jubilee in the Park. We have researched several various options to try to have a make-up event in the near future. We have been unable to find a location that doesn’t require road closures or significant cost. Another obstacle has been getting the volunteer support for an additional event, since we have only 2 employees at Springtime Tallahassee. The board met last week and determined that it is not feasible to have a make-up event this year. They did agree to the addition of having a back-up location on standby for future festivals.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
