Weather Policy

Arts on the Avenue is a 'rain or shine' event, but our top priorities are our attendees, artists, and vendors' safety and enjoyment. Therefore, if the forecast predicts any of the following, we will consider canceling the event:

- More than 1" of rain
- Sustained winds at excessive amounts
- Prolonged lightning storms
- Declared “weather emergency” from a governmental agency

There is a rain date planned for May 31st, in which case the festival will occur on that date. If the rain date is utilized the festival will be relocated one block over, to Owen Avenue.
