The Elk Grove Western Festival, an annual celebration held in Elk Grove, California, has been canceled again this year. The Cosumnes Community Service District (CSD) sent a letter to the organizers of the festival, terminating their special event agreement. The decision was made due to the organizers’ failure to submit the required documents that ensure the safety and health of attendees. Festival organizers had been granted two deadline extensions but were still unable to meet the requirements. The Elk Grove Western Festival was first organized by parents from Elk Grove Elementary School in 1957. It quickly became a community tradition, attracting tens of thousands of people to the parade and festival held in Elk Grove Regional Park. The festival was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent years, it has faced several challenges and struggles. The Cosumnes CSD General Manager, Phil Lewis, expressed disappointment over the festival’s cancellation, acknowledging its importance to the Elk Grove community. He emphasized the priority of public safety and well-being, stating that the decision to terminate the agreement was made to ensure the safety of participants and attendees. The CSD hopes to collaborate with the organizers in the future to ensure the safe and successful開催 of the Elk Grove Western Festival.
