While Uptown Live returned to New West after a one-year hiatus, the story wasn’t as positive for other festivals as the 12th Street Music Festival, the Quayside Community Boardwalk Festival and Sale and the Northwest Fan Fest postponed events for a variety of reasons.
City council also approved a G-Zero Championship Racing Series and Piknik Electronik event, but organizers pulled the plug on those events for 2016.
Some residents are still holding out hope that these events will take place in 2017 and the Royal City Show and Shine will make a return to Columbia Street, but only time will tell.
