First Avenue Announces Parade Park Postponement

Submitted by machen on Tue, 04/23/2013 - 12:45pm

First Avenue regrets to announce the postponement of our anticipated Parade Park event this summer. Unfortunately two headliners pulled out late in the planning process, leaving the only option to postpone until 2014. For our inaugural fest we hope to create an event that lives up to the high standards of First Avenue. If we had moved forward this year that would not have been possible.

We're excited about the great shows coming to the Cabooze Outdoor Plazaand our first show at Bayfront Park in Duluth, MN featuring Trampled By Turtles and Atmosphere on June 29. While sadly we must wait until next summer for Parade, we're committed to bringing this event to life and look forward to doing just that in 2014.
