Downtown Vision said in a news release:
“The River Jams site was in no condition for an event this evening, given today’s earlier wind and rain, and the fact that high wind gusts are expected to continue throughout the evening,” said Alex Alston, Chief of Sports & Entertainment for the City of Jacksonville. “As a result, we did not know when our production team would be able to safely get on-site to set up – or even if they would have enough time to do so. Nor could we ensure their safety or the safety of the performers, our staff and volunteers, and our attendees, which is always our priority. Thank you for your understanding – we look forward to seeing you at next week’s show.”
While Thursday’s scheduled Jax River Jams concert has been canceled, the music will continue as the concerts’ local and regional openers are set to perform at venues in The Elbow: Downtown’s Nightlife District.
