The threat of bad weather has forced the town of Alto to move its annual spring festival to this summer.
The 18th annual Alto Spring Fling Festival and Parade will now be held on Saturday, June 1, according to town officials. The event was to be held this Saturday, May 4, but waves of rain are expected to roll through Northeast Georgia beginning on Friday.
The forecast calls for showers Friday night and Saturday with a line of storms expected to develop and push across the region. There is a chance that some of these storms could be severe with damaging winds being the main threat.

Since the festival has been postponed, Alto is still accepting applications from vendors and those who would like to participate in the parade. Forms may be downloaded from the town’s website.
