The city will officially send the organizers of the festival a notice of termination and will begin to explore alternative programming for the weekend on April 26 and 27.
Virginia Beach, Washington – something in the water organizers will officially receive a notice of termination from the city of Virginia, the city said.
The city had decided earlier this month to allow SITW one last chance to work to release a staff and announcement of ticket sales, especially considering that a large part of the team was affected by Wild -Fires in Los Angeles.
However, the deputy manager of the city city of Virginia Amanda Jarrat said during the work session last Tuesday that while the SITW team remained in contact, there is no information on the sale of tickets or the launch of a composition.
“We came here to a decision point,” said Mayor Bobby Dyer at this meeting. “This will be my recommendation to the manager that we are moving forward with the city lawyer to say that they violate the contract and impose five -day time to cure.”
Last Wednesday, a city spokesman confirmed to 13news now that a letter was sent to a form on Tuesday.
The letter informs the organizers of the festival that they have until the end of the business on Monday to “cure” the offense.
“I think the city has done everything it can to lean back to extend the deadlines and things like that, so it’s sad,” Virginia’s deputy berries Rosechari Wilson told 13news now.
Fans were devastated after the news broke on Monday, especially those outside the city that booked accommodation for the event. Norman Browning from Richmond was one of these fans. While Browning said he was disappointed, he also said he was not surprised by this result.
The founder of the festival, Pharrell Williams, canceled the event in 2024 on the day the tickets went on sale in September after they released a message that the festival would be developed for April 2025.
“He wrote this open letter in September saying,” Dear Virginia, you deserve the best “and we don’t get the best … We don’t get anything,” Browning said.
The city of Virginia Beach provided this statement to 13news now on Monday night:
While the city appreciates the positive impact and visibility that has had something in the Virginia Beach Water Festival years ago, regrets the organizers do not meet the requirements for the treatment notice regarding the next steps, the SITW team will receive an official notice of termination from The City.
As a result, city employees will start alternative plans for the weekend on April 26-27. We remain optimistic about future opportunities to work with the SITW team.
