The Renaissance in Roanoke committee has decided to cancel this year’s event, originally scheduled for Oct. 10.
The committee released a statement saying if they moved forward with this year’s event they would have had to take many more precautions to protect the public and incur so many unexpected expenses that they felt it would be better to make the call to cancel the event.
