NEWS RELEASE
LONGMONT DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
*************************
After consultation with public health officials and taking into account numerous logistical concerns around compliance with and enforcement of health and safety guidelines amongst spectators along Main Street (calling for no large gatherings, requiring social distancing, and face coverings, etc.), LDDA will not pursue lifting the cruising ban along Main Street in 2020
Therefore there will not be a Longmont Cruise Night this year. Saturday, July 25 was tentatively identified as the date for Cruise Night but was never officially confirmed due to uncertainty around the changing landscape.
Cruising has been an important part of Longmont’s heritage, and over the past two years of lifting the cruising ban for a night, the Cruise Nights have been safe and respectful overall. However, with the current economic and public health concerns, the safety of our community and our economy are the top priority. It is hopeful that this community tradition can return next year.
