Promoters make pitch for move to Gonzales

Float Fest could be moving downstream to the Guadalupe River in Gonzales.

The agenda for the Gonzales City Council’s meeting last night had a discussion item on hosting Float Fest at J.B. Wells Park and Independence Park in Gonzales. Council is also slated to accept public input regarding the festival. Among the topics that could be discussed are a licensed area/site plan, traffic and transportation plan, emergency management plan, security, tubing plan, water and bathrooms, waste and trash collection, parking, camping, river impact mitigation and cleanup plan and a wildlife impact mitigation plan.

Gonzales City Clerk Kristina Vega noted that the item was only scheduled for discussion, not action, at the council meeting.
