RE: Main Street Events Update

TOCCOA, GA – March 16, 2020 – Main Street Toccoa has announced that, due to the guidelines of the CDC and recommendations of Governor Kemp, the April 2^nd, 2020 inaugural Downtown Toccoa Sip-n-Stroll has been postponed. Additionally, all March and April events taking place at the Historic Ritz Theatre have been cancelled or postponed. The 2020 Toast of Toccoa is still tentatively scheduled to proceed as normal.

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce these cancellations and postponements,” said Main Street Manager Christian Hamilton. “Our downtown businesses have spent a great deal of time working on preparing for this Sip-n-Stroll. We do hope to reconvene and host it in the Fall,” Hamilton added. “Unfortunately, we are also canceling or postponing every show taking place in March and April at the Ritz. Please stay tuned for updated information on when these shows will take place in the future.”

Main Street Toccoa would like to encourage locals to remember the Historic Downtown District during these unprecedented times. Here’s how you can help: Something as simple as purchasing a gift card will allow local businesses an immediate income source. Schedule your haircuts downtown, if you don’t want to get out, order takeout from downtown restaurants, and make the effort to shop for what you need in the downtown area. Most importantly, check in with your favorite store downtown and ask them how you can help them get through this difficult time. Support the small businesses that make up the backbone of the community.

Staff remains committed to our mission of downtown development and showcasing the Historic Downtown District as the heart and soul of our community. Main Street Toccoa stands with all other main streets and small business owners as we work in tandem with ongoing statewide efforts regarding social distancing.

For more information about cancellations or postponements, please contact the Main Street Toccoa office at 706.898.5777.
