Concerts may be canceled or postponed due to weather. A cancellation or postponement will likely be a last-minute decision, due to the unpredictability of Florida’s summer rain showers.

If a concert is cancelled, the public will be notified on the city website at www.CityStAug.com/Concerts and on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/CityStAug. If there is not an announcement posted, then the concert will continue as scheduled.
