So, Float Fest decided to pack up and head to a ranch south of Gonzales, a town about an hour east of San Antonio. But weather and construction delays prevented the festival from going forward in 2019 and it wasAhead of the festival, Float Fest founder Marcus Federman was enthusiastic.
Indeed, there were clear measures to protect the environment. For instance, at the bar nearest to the river entrance, beer is only served in reusable containers. Many attendees brought reusable water bottles but for guests without a container, bartenders allowed them to purchase a plastic water bottle, drink the water and then have it filled with beer.
“Operationally, we've had a lot of time to correct a lot of things,” Federman said. “So I think that the fans are going to come out and be surprised because it's going to be a pretty seamless experience.” More seriously, several of the vendors reported that merchandise was stolen from their booths between their set-up on Friday night and their return in the morning. According to several people selling their wares, vendors zip-tied their booths for security and were told their goods would be safe.
Vendors were concerned on Saturday that they would be unable to profit from the festival, especially given that they paid significant fees to attend in the first place.
