Enterprise Festival in the Park canceled

Out of an abundance of caution for the citizens of Enterprise, vendors and city staff, the Enterprise Parks and Recreation 26th Annual Festival in the Park at Johnny Henderson Family Park has been cancelled due to expected inclement weather on Saturday, May 3.
“Safety is our top priority, and we deeply regret having to cancel this event for our community,” said Blake Moore, Director of Community Services and Recreation. “Based on guidance from the Coffee County Emergency Management Agency and consultation with the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, the potential for rain, thunderstorms, and damaging winds is simply too high to proceed.”
The event will not be rescheduled. However, the fireworks planned for the festival will be used during an upcoming city event. Further details will be announced as they become available.
“We know how much this event means to our community, and canceling it was not an easy decision,” said Mayor William E. Cooper. “But the safety of our citizens, vendors, and city staff must come first. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and continued support as we look ahead to future events.”
Citizens are urged to stay weather-aware and monitor updates closely.
“Everyone should have at least two reliable ways to receive weather alerts,” said Enterprise Fire Department Chief Christopher Davis who also serves at the city’s Safety Officer. “Enable alerts on your phone, follow trusted social media channels, and stay tuned to local TV and radio stations to stay informed about changing conditions.”
