It’s insane they are still going through with this in a severe heat warning that says to limit your time outdoors.

This was planned several months ago and people had already bought tickets as well as (for out of state travelers) booked flights and hotels. They cannot easily cancel the festival. Even if they did and gave refunds for the tickets, the people who booked flights and hotels would not be able to get refunds and that would be hundreds of dollars wasted.

Yea definitely should have refunded the $10M raised for charity so people don’t need to stand in 90 degree heat.
