Alternative rock music festival PromoWest Fest will not return in 2017.

The inaugural 2016 event � on July 15-17 � brought 28,000 people to McFerson Commons Park in the Arena District.

Scott Stienecker, president of festival organizer PromoWest Productions, said space constraints prompted the cancellation.

�We ended up too big for that location,� he said of their goals to attract 45,000 people for the weekend event. �When you look at it and when you measure it, you should be able to do 15,000 (a day) but when you actually get everything set up you just can�t accommodate 15,000.�

Finding a new location � Stienecker hopes to remain in the Downtown area � will be the focus of the gap year, with plans to revamp the festival in 2018.
