LYNCHBURG, Va. (WFXR) — The Lynchburg Parks and Recreation Department has announced that the 2024 Art in the Park event has been canceled.

Brain Wallace the Marketing Coordinator with the Lynchburg Parks and Recreation tells WFXR that the vendors were aware that if inclement weather occurred, the event would not be rescheduled.
