However, given the recent surge in COVID-19 cases, they decided it was unsafe for attendees, vendors and sponsors, a press release said.
They cite that it would be extremely difficult to adhere to social distancing and safety protocols throughout the day.
The committee will continue its work on planning a long overdue Madison Street festival for the first Saturday in October 2022.
