THE HUDSON PROJECT CANCELLED
DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS
Based on recommendations from Ulster County officials, THE HUDSON PROJECT festival organizers MCP Presents and SFX Entertainment have regrettably had to cancel the remainder of today’s (Sunday, July 13) performances (as 8:00 PM, ET).
These suggestions are based on warnings from the National Weather Service (NWS) about impending weather, along with storms that passed through the area earlier today. Festival organizers have been working tirelessly with New York State, Ulster County and Saugerties town officials and have now determined weather conditions are unsafe for people to return to the festival site. In order to ensure everyone exits the site safely, festival organizers ask that everyone please follow direction from festival site staff and stay tuned to social media for the most updated information.
Festival-goers were evacuated this afternoon (Sunday, July 13 at 4:45 PM, ET) from the event grounds and were directed by staff and New York State, Ulster County and Saugerties town officials to seek shelter in vehicles until the storm safely passed. “Our first priority is always the safety of our fans, artists and staff,” said Jonathan Fordin, partner of MCP Presents, the promoter behind THE HUDSON PROJECT. “We regret having to cancel any performance, but safety always comes first.”
