The Hollister Downtown Association announced Sept. 11 that the annual Street Festival and Car Show was postponed to 2021.
“We have made great efforts to modify and adjust to make it happen, however, there is not a way to safely hold the event that usually brings thousands of people to the downtown to enjoy the festival,” a statement by the association read.
Those who had applied to show their vehicle in the festival will be refunded.
The association stated that it hopes to hold a modified Lights On Celebration in November.
