Could it be too good to be true that the “gorgeous mosaic” that is the Brooklyn Labor Day Free Fire Zone and Savage Day fest might be cancelled? Article doesn’t expressly mention Ape Day and the Night of Terror aka J’Ouvert but.....it’s coming!

This could be the most unkind cut of all: For the first time in 58 years, there will be no Shakespeare in the Park this summer.
The cancellation of the Central Park summertime series, announced Friday by The Public Theater, is one more woe piled on the spring and summer of our social-distancing discontent.
The Brooklyn Half-Marathon, scheduled for May 16, was also canceled Friday due to the coronavirus.
The event was expected to draw an unsafe number of people, Mayor de Blasio said.
Holding the popular running race would go “against everything that we need to do to fight back the coronavirus,” de Blasio said of the half-marathon’s expected 27,000 participants.
Runners who registered for the Brooklyn Half-Marathon can either get a full refund or a guaranteed entry in next year’s race, Coming up in June — well, probably not much.
De Blasio said the city is discussing with organizers the possible cancellation of the annual Puerto Rican Day Parade on June 14 and this year’s 50th anniversary Gay Pride March, set for June 28.
“They’re beautiful events, but they’re really mass gatherings — hundreds of thousands of people, in some cases more than a million. I can’t see it,” the mayor said.
De Blasio said he understands people will disappointed over the cancellations.
“We love those things. We miss them when we don’t have them,” he said. “But they will be back.”
