2016 Beach Town Festival Postponed Due to Hurricane Threat
Florida Governor Rick Perry issued a state of emergency for all of Florida's 67 counties, causing the festival to be postponed to a later date.
The weather isn’t playing this time around as the 2016 Beach Town Festival in Vero Beach, Florida, has been postponed due to the hurricane threat looming over the state.
Hurricane Matthew has been stirring up quite the storm throughout many tropical countries including Cuba and Haiti, and is making its way to the Southeastern section of the United States rapidly. Florida Governor Rick Perry has declared a state of emergency for all of the state’s 67 counties, causing a scheduled delay in the festival originally planned for the weekend of October 7.
Country artists that were set to perform at the beach music festival included Jake Owen, David Nail and Clare Dunn, with fellow musicians Bret Michaels, Edwin McCain and a few others along the lineup.
The hurricane threat has also caused the kick-off date of Luke Bryan’s Farm Tour in South Carolina to be canceled, with fans receiving refunds within the next three days.
While it is unsure when the 2016 Beach Town Festival will be held, new dates will soon be announced and tickets will be honored for the dates posted. More information and up-to-date details about the 2016 Beach Town Festival can be found on the event’s website.
