“These past couple years have taught us to simplify, to return to roots, and to hold on tight to our loved ones and the friendships we’ve made. To appreciate all that we have, who we are, and celebrate our roots and lives while we can,” organizers wrote in an open letter to fans on Monday. “But equally important is to embrace change as an opportunity for progress!”
