Beer and music festival survive hurricane

Organizers in coordination with the City of Jacksonville have rescheduled the Inaugural Bold City Beer & Music Festival to Sunday, September 22nd in Riverside.  The special event was planned to take place over the Labor Day Weekend and was postponed due to impacts by Hurricane Dorian.  "We felt it was necessary to reschedule the festival. Public safety is always our primary concern and having a special event days before a hurricane could have been dangerous" mentioned festival promoter Charles Wagoner.
