🌧️ Important Update: Pan in the Park Postponed

Due to today’s weather conditions, including the extreme heat and the potential for storms later in the day, we’ve decided to postpone the Pan in the Park Panorama Showcase scheduled for this afternoon.

We know many of you were looking forward to joining us, but the safety of our performers, volunteers, vendors, and community comes first.

The good news is that Pan in the Park is not canceled - just postponed! We’re already working on a new date and will share it with everyone as soon as it’s confirmed.

We can’t wait to celebrate steel pan music, Caribbean culture, and community with you soon.

Stay safe, and we’ll see you at Pan in the Park very soon! 🥁✨
