I will sit in a heavy rain or cold evening wind watching a concert that I paid for months in advance for Loverboy or Boston. But if the same concert was free, although not happy about it, I would skip the free concert. I'm sure the group members would also be happy to cancel and not look out and see only 7 people.
Just a guess, but, since the entertainment on the squares was always paid for through the Florida tourist advertising fund, not through villages amenity fees, I'm thinking perhaps the state is involved might mean a contract where all details such as weather, etc. are spelled out clearly ?
