The Greenwich Town Party regretfully announces that the extension event on the Avenue has been officially canceled due to inclement weather conditions. The main Greenwich Town Party event location at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park will still happen RAIN OR SHINE and there has been no vendor or bands cancelations at this location.
The decision to cancel the GTP Rocks the Avenue extension event, made by the GTP Board of Directors, is due to all of the event electricity needing to be protected from the rain as well as to protect all the band's equipment. The Town's Showmobile Stage was being used at the GTP Greenwich Avenue event which does not have a cover to protect the electricity and the equipment from the rain. This decision was made in the best interest of safety for bands, vendors, and attendees of this extension event. The stage and electrical equipment at the Roger Sherman Baldwin Park location is completely undercover so this event will continue 100% as planned unless a temporary break is needed in the event of lightening/thunder, which is not expected at this time.
Since the electricity was important to both bands and vendors, the decision was made to cancel the event completely.
The GTP Rocks the Avenue extension event will not be rescheduled and the Greenwich Town Party planners said this has been the hardest decision the GTP has had to make in three years.
Those in the Greenwich community who do not have tickets to the main event are encouraged to tune in to WGCH 1490AM Radio on Saturday, May 25 from 9:45 a.m. to 6 p.m. to listen to a live broadcast and partial simulcast of the main Greenwich Town Party event at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park.
