FLORENCE-On Tuesday, June 22 the City of Florence released a Public Notice regarding the Spirit of Freedom Celebration at McFarland Park:“The City of Florence and Singing River Media Group have made the joint decision to cancel the Spirit of Freedom Celebration at McFarland Park this year. This decision was made after four consecutive meetings that took place between January and April of 2021.
Planning for this event typically begins each year in early January, but due to the uncertainty of Covid-19, neither organization was comfortable hosting the event given the minimal guidance provided by the State of Alabama at that time. We are aware that this is an event that many of our Florence citizens, Shoals community members, and friends from surrounding areas enjoy, so we are certainly disappointed to relay this information.
We hope to be back celebrating the Spirit of Freedom with each of you in the Summer of 2022.”
Mayor Andy Betterton
