2020 Street Fair Cancelled to Focus on Business Recovery
August 11, 2020
SASKATOON - Due to the ongoing public health crisis, and the negative impact of the recent economic shutdown, the 33rd Street Business Improvement District (BID) board of directors has voted to cancel this year’s street fair.
“Because we’re a small district with limited resources, the street fair requires a lot of volunteer effort from our business owners to make happen,” said Dan Matthews, Executive Director of 33rd Street BID. “Asking business owners to add extra work to their day at this time is simply not possible.”
Of course, the ongoing pandemic brings additional risk to the health and wellbeing of those managing and attending the event as well.
“Many of the street fair main attractions involve hands-on activities and close physical proximity,” said Matthews. “The risk to our visitors, business owners, and volunteers is just too great. Next year we’ll bring the fair back bigger and better than ever.”
In lieu of the event, the BID plans to focus its energy and resources on supporting the recovery of its business community and attracting support for these businesses from a local customer base.
Anyone with questions or concerns regarding the cancellation of the event should contact the 33rd Street Business Improvement District through their website at www.33rd.ca.
