The Port Huron Downtown Development Authority says this year’s Blue Water Fest – at least as currently planned – will be canceled. The announcement was made via a press release Monday. “We cannot, during this difficult time, ask for funds for a festival when we know they are needed elsewhere,” said Cynthia Cutright, director of the Downtown Development Authority. The announcement only concerns the city’s portion of the festival and does not affect the Bayview Mackinac Race.  The city is expected to reevaluate the situation in early summer, in which a celebration of “a much different scope” could still be held surrounding the annual yacht race.
