NA Confidential has just learned that this year's Celts on the River concert will be held on Saturday, September 8 ... in downtown Jeffersonville, not New Albany. Apparently the Jeff parks department made a better offer to the festival's governing committee, and it was accepted.
It is uncertain whether (a) there even remains a standing riverfront events committee in New Albany since the mayoral changeover, or (b) if this events committee was consulted prior to the festival's shift.
Certainly the fact that Jeffersonville's negotiations have been conducted by an official, ongoing arm of the city's government, irrespective of the current occupant, and as opposed to the ad hoc committee-as-political-appendage approach favored by the previous England administration, played a part in this decision.
I'm optimistic that entrepreneurs can provide ample activities for New Albany's riverfront amphitheater.
If we let them.
