FLORENCE-The Courtin’ the Blues Parade, (the W.C. Handy Music Festival kick-off event) originally scheduled for 7pm this evening, has been rescheduled due to inclement weather. The Parade will take place down the Court Street parade route tomorrow, Saturday, July 19 at 7pm. Parade participants can line-up starting at 6pm in the originally scheduled location. The decision to reschedule was determined by more favorable weather conditions for Saturday evening. Big River Broadcasting, the host of the parade, and the W.C. Handy Music Festival would like to thank Chief Ron Tyler and The Florence Police Department for their cooperation in making the parade possible for Saturday evening.
The W.C. Handy Music Festival kicks off today and runs through Sunday, July 27 throughout the Shoals.
The Handy Festival will keep fans updated on events scheduled on the W.C. Handy Music Festival Facebook page, or on Twitter @WCHandyFestival.
