Like the rest of the country, we have been waiting for things to get back to a new normal. In light of the fact that we usually start planning in early spring and with all of the restrictions in place on public gatherings, we thought it prudent to cancel Starry Night for this year.

With it being a free and open event, there is really no way to restrict the number of people. The idea of 10,000+ people on packed streets is antithetical to the heart of Starry Night, which is to share in hospitality, creativity, and a thoughtful togetherness – not put people at risk. We are incredibly grateful for nearly two decades of community support and hope we can reboot in a year.
