New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said Tuesday that she doesn't expect any large events like festivals to take place in the city for the remainder of 2020. Cantrell said she wasn't sure if that would include Saints home games this fall.

She said she hasn't had any talks with the NFL, Saints owner Gayle Benson or members of the franchise's front office and said she's not sure what the Saints plans are regarding the upcoming season.

"I want the health and safety of our players and all the players to be at the forefront,” Cantrell said. "...I think the data should drive what we should be able to do and also put ourselves in a position to where when are better and we are healed, that we stay that way."

Cantrell said she had spoken to organizers of other events regarding them not taking place this year.

"My recommendation is absolutely no large events such as French Quarter Fest and Jazz Fest, even Essence Festival, as it relates to the year 2020," Cantrell said. "The focus should shift to 2021."
