Global Citizen Festival Canceled Due to Nor'easter
Organizers said refunds will be automatic as dangerous winds and rain from the storm threaten the safety of fans, artists and crews.
- Organizers canceled both the annual Global Citizen Festival in Central Park and the three-day NYC festival at Forest Hills Stadium on Friday, citing dangerous storm conditions forecasted for the New York area throughout the weekend.
- Forecasts of high winds, heavy rain, and coastal flooding prompted the difficult decisions after officials consulted with trusted weather advisors, the City of New York, and NYC Parks to prioritize attendee safety.
- This marks the first cancellation in 14 years for the Global Citizen Festival, which secured $208.8 million in financial commitments through 3.5 million actions over the last six weeks to support 9.5 million people.
- Refunds for ticket holders will be processed automatically, while those who donated or purchased via AXS will receive email instructions; food intended for attendees will be donated to local New York City organizations.
- Meanwhile, the Maryland edition of the festival will proceed as scheduled, and Global Citizen organizers confirmed plans to return to Central Park next year to continue their advocacy mission.
