Officials with organizer, EgCollaborations, posted to say they had a logistics issue Sunday that they weren't aware of. 

They learned that other events were taking place, closing off major streets and access to the tamale fest.

EgCollaborations considered rescheduling but couldn't figure out a date with other events already scheduled.

Refunds will be issued to those who already bought tickets, and a donation will still be made to the Elf Louise Christmas Project on their behalf.
