A planned car-free Sunday on Nørrebrogade has been canceled because of the weather.

The Nørrebro Local Committee said scattered showers over the capital led to the decision. Chair Morgens Pedersen said organizers had delayed canceling in the hope that conditions would improve, but received many cancellations from activities such as yoga and chalk drawing.

We are sorry and disappointed. We really held off on the decision in the hope that the weather would change.

— Morgens PedersenThe chair of the Nørrebro Local Committee explained the cancellation.

He also cited safety concerns. If too few people came onto the street, cyclists and motorists might not understand that they were not allowed to use it.

The event takes place once a year, and the Local Committee said the date could not be moved.

But this morning, cancellations came flooding in from various participants who depend on dry weather, such as yoga and chalk drawing.

— Morgens PedersenHe described why the weather made the event impossible to hold.
