Organizers have announced that Peterborough Pulse, the annual open streets event that takes place in downtown Peterborough, has been cancelled for 2020.
The popular family-friendly event, where George Street is transformed for a day into a car-free corridor filled with activities and events, was originally scheduled for Saturday, July 18th.
“Public health must come first — now and always,” says Terry Guiel, executive director of the Peterborough Downtown Business Improvement Area and Peterborough Pulse co-chair.
The inaugural Peterborough Pulse was held in July 2015 and it has since grown into a favourite summer event in downtown Peterborough attended by many thousands of people.
“Just like our community, Pulse is extremely resilient,” says Peterborough Pulse coordinator Hillary Flood.
“We look forward to a future when it is safe again to gather in the streets. When Pulse returns it will be with all the colourful community magic one could expect from our hyper-local open streets festival.”
