All Things Go NY has canceled its upcoming weekend-long festival at Forest Hills Stadium, with heavy rains and winds set to hit New York when a predicted nor'easter makes landfall later on Friday.
Organizers of the popular All Things Go festival, which was set to begin on Friday, Sept. 25 and continue through Sunday, Sept. 27, said they "made the difficult decision" to cancel the event following consultations with local officials, Forest Hills Stadium representatives and "trusted weather advisors."
"We really don't know how to put into words how heartbroken we are," festival organizers said in a post on social media. "The safety of our fans, the artists and local crew is our top priority."
