EldonNova Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 No, but isn't it a bit early to think of cancelling? It does not happen until October or November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes months of planning, some of which involves non-refundable expenses. People involved in a myriad of ways have to be signed up. They may be depending on income that will come from the event. They need to know soonest if it will not be coming. I am guessing they have reached the point of needing to either start putting out money or canceling.

ajijicbound Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Pasadena just canceled the Rose Bowl Parade first time since the 1800's. Things happen and it takes so long to plan and prepare, they canceled. Maybe a nice video of past San Andres fiesta may be necessary.

Big issue in that decision aside from drastically reduced air travel and visitation here is that volunteer hosts were hard to come by because many did not want to risk exposure to CV from other parts of the country.
