Summer Nights on the Green officially canceled
The town of Windsor has announced the full cancellation of the 2020 Summer Nights on the Green event series.
At the May 6 town council meeting the town council voted 4-1 to approve a tentative plan to run a shorter slate of Summer Nights on the Green concerts in September and October. At that time, it was considered too early to know if it would happen, but the Parks and Recreation Department wanted the “placeholder” so that if it is possible to do so, they can move forward. Parks and Rec head Jon Davis stated the “drop dead” date to decide if they can move forward will be July 20. Councilmember Bruce Okrepkie voted no, as he felt that the concerts will not be allowed by then, and that it’s a waste of the department’s time and resources.
He would turn out to be correct.
“The town was hopeful that a shortened season would be possible to bring to the community this fall, but has determined there is too much uncertainty surrounding when large-scale events will be allowed in Sonoma County,” they said in a statement. “We look forward to bringing back the fun in 2021 when it is safe to do so.”
