Surf City Live 2024 has been cancelled, the town of Surf City announced Friday on Facebook.
According to the post, over the last several months, the town has continued to engage in discussion with various stakeholders, community members and others concerning the Surf City Live ‘24 event.
Council approved a budget for this year’s event to execute another quality ticketed concert event, the post said. The last two years, national acts have come to Surf City and put on unforgettable experiences for all that were in attendance.
The town hosting a ticketed event at this scale is no small feat, though, and the operations were to the standard in which is expected from the town, the post added.
Overwhelmingly, the feedback from those that attended were positive.
However, with a ticketed event of this scale, concerns have been expressed over the funding, sponsorship and town staff involvement. At this time, the post said Surf City Town Manager Kyle Breuer believes it is in the best interest of the town to not move forward with the 2024 event and focus on additional tourism-related opportunities for shoulder seasons.
