The Downtown Toledo Improvement District is deeply saddened by the shooting that occurred at the Old West End Festival this past weekend. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those impacted by this tragic act of violence.

The Old West End Festival has long been a cherished community tradition that celebrates Toledo's rich history, culture, and neighborhood pride. Incidents such as this are heartbreaking and stand in stark contrast to the spirit of unity, inclusiveness, and community that the festival represents.

As a community, we must continue working together to foster safe, welcoming public spaces where residents and visitors can gather, celebrate, and connect. The Downtown Toledo Improvement District remains committed to supporting efforts that enhance public safety while preserving the vibrant events and experiences that make Toledo a special place to live, work, and visit.

Toledo is a resilient city. While this tragedy has impacted many, we remain united in our support for those affected and in our commitment to building a safer, stronger community for all.

We’re looking forward to this! 👀
