San Juan Bautista announced the cancellation of the Arts and Crafts Festival planned for the end of March.
Still, the city in a press release Friday said other attractions remain open for business such as the Mission and downtown businesses, while other events’ fates are pending such as those of the Rib Cook Off and Fiesta Fun Run that have been postponed for now.
According to an announcement from San Juan:
The City of San Juan Bautista is open for business. The State Park, Mission, and downtown businesses remain open and are prepared and ready to meet your needs and respond to your curiosities.
However, the City is following the Governor’s recommendation to postpone or cancel all special events that expect to attract more than 250 people. The City has decided to extend this policy until the end of May when a reassessment will occur based on current health conditions both locally, and in those surrounding counties where many of the City’s visitors travel from.
Large special events that are impacted by this decision include the Arts and Crafts Festival, Rib Cook Off and Fiesta Run. Rather than postpone, the organizer of the Arts and Crafts Festival scheduled for March 28-29, has decided to cancel this event. The organizers of the Rib Cook Off and Fiesta Run, originally scheduled to occur in May, are still considering postponing these events, but future dates remain uncertain.
