In City Council's Oct. 22 work session, Interim City Manager Douglas Keen asked Council to consider hosting fewer events in the summer of 2025.

Keen said city staff has been discussing the strain hosting several events has on the city's infrastructure and their workload.

"We have been a victim of our own successes," Keen said. "All of our events, when we first started [First Friday], we were just hopeful to get a few people to come to Old Town. ... We're so crowded. But what that has caused ... is the strain on our infrastructure for some of the locations, the strain on our staff and the strain on our community as a whole."
