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 are no rain dates planned. The Arts on the Avenue Committee will do its best to make any decisions about cancellation thoughtfully and as timely as possible.
