Controversial event canceled in Canton

CANTON — After multiple warnings and a lack of response, a controversial Festival scheduled to happen in Canton has been canceled. The contentious festival was the subject of several city council meetings, with droves of residents voicing their concerns about the event. Last week, the event was given the go-ahead to continue, contingent upon certain factors being addressed by event organizers. According to our news partner KETK, the name of the Festival SLVTZ was said to be an acronym for Spreading, Loving, Vibes, Through Zen. Organizers, said the goal of the festival is to instill that mantra into as many people as possible. The event was moved to November 6 and 7. The city did not receive notification of that, or a response to their inquiry and was canceled.
