The organizers of public events across the state and country are in a bit of a holding pattern as COVID-19 infection rates and restrictions continue to drop but uncertainty continues.
On March 25, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey repealed many of the restrictions he imposed by executive orders earlier in the COVID-19 pandemic. Included in his order was a repeal of his requirement that events or gatherings of 50 people needed special approval of local governments. These events, he said, should continue to follow safe practices and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations, including physical distancing.

Those who enjoy events sponsored by the Sedona Parks and Recreation Department will have to wait even longer to attend as a result of the ongoing pandemic.
Recreation Coordinator Ali Baxter announced on Tuesday, Feb. 9, that city staff canceled events like the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Food Truck Festival and Celebration of Spring for this year.
“The public’s health and safety are our No. 1 priority right now,” Baxter said. “With so much uncertainty remaining due to the pandemic, we believe it is necessary to cancel the spring 2021 signature city events.”
Baxter said some of the summer events are still in the works, at least for now. These include the soccer camp and bike camp, events where the department can limit the number of participants and safely distance them.
