Since the start of the pandemic, COVID-19 has disproportionately hit the Latino population. Festival officials say while the decision to cancel was not an easy one, it was made with the safety of the community in mind.
As COVID-19 infections grow across the state, all eyes are on our wastewater, including the Bay Area, where COVID cases have been increasing rapidly."They're really not safe for our community members to be at and engage in. You know a lot of people get hurt at these sideshow events," Kucker said.
But for those left wondering when the festival might come back again, Lemus says next year will be a go."2020 would have been our 15th year. It would have been our quinceañera. And we weren't able to celebrate our quinceañera and we were going to do it big. So we look forward to next year," Lemus said.
