Rain Policy
If it is rainy or damp and the area or stage where the dancers are going to be is not in acceptable condition, the performance will be cancelled. The decision may be made in advance depending on the amount of rainfall, or at the park at approximately start time. All attempts will be made to notify sponsors, park officials, and the media if an advance cancellation is made.
