Parks staff summarized the festival debrief, saying the Jesse James Festival had no incidents or injuries staff were aware of and that city services—barriers, street closures and staging—were provided to support vendors and attendees. Staff said the city will debrief with the enrichment council and the chamber to identify lessons learned.
