“After a difficult 17 months of life in a pandemic, the city is now able to hold large community events once again… During this event in downtown Lancaster, we’ll get to see a piece of each event that went virtual or got postponed, from the Easter Eggstravaganza to A Magical BLVD Christmas,” according to a news release promoting the event.
The official opening ceremony for the event will begin at 6:50 p.m. at Ehrlich Avenue, with a tribute to “the heroes in our community who have sustained our city since March 2020,” according to the news release. The event will conclude with fireworks.

It’s either celebrate here,
Or Rub elbows with the most elite hypocrite scum at Martha’s Vineyard…

Crossroads says
If your scared stay indoors and don’t come out
Sweetone says
I outcome of this event will be very interesting. I will sit back at home and read about it later.
Make up your mind says
Rex is a hypocrite and an absolute disaster.
Raccoon says
I will not be present out an abundance of caution.
Beecee says
That’s alright,
Trash pandas aren’t invited anyways.
Tim Scott says
Wow!
That was actually funny. I suspected that you had it in you!
Tim Scott says
Marv: We have the lowest vaccination rates in the entire county. Should we do something about it?
Wrecks: How about a super spreader event?
Time for a new mayor says
So Wrecks the ‘if you are not vaccinated you are killing people-you can’t work in Lancaster if you’re not vaccinated -you will die if you’re not vaccinated’ guy is throwing a bash where there will be unvaccinated people rubbing elbows, drinking, getting in each other’s faces, touching, and so on.
Can he make up his mind?
Sweetone says
William says
You can say that again, Sweetone.
Stinger says
Y’know… I think that might just be the best, most insightful comment I’ve seen on this site ever.
Bob Dob says
Very confusing this situation: in one hand there is a big surge of COVID-19 hospitalizations and cases in the AV, but the city is going ahead with a mass event, that can potentially become a super spreader event? Mixed messages, no wonder the population is confused.
BLVD Babe says
Will Rex ban anyone not vaccinated?
How many panhandlers will be there?
Will Rex and Marv pontificate on how great the BLVD is even though most places that open are closed in short order?
Does Pastor Paul approve of all the alcohol sales and consumption on the BLVD?
Will Rex make a sweep of the homeless and push them into the desert for his big production?
Inquiring minds want to know.
The blvd to nowhere says
The re-opening of the La Brea Tar Pits is going to be even better.
Birdman says
Rex did say once that the BLVD was better than Disneyland.
….
He does say a lot of bizarre things, doesn’t he? Yet the Lancaster Lemmings keep him at the helm. It’s terrible for the residents but it is entertaining listening to this fool try to come off as an intellectual. It’s downright hysterical.
Voter says
I still can’t believe Rex wasn’t forced to resign when he went on TV and lied about how a mentally ill person shot a sheriff deputy from a building next to the station. They had the whole area shut down with hundreds of sheriffs and vehicles all over. They raided people’s apartments looking for a shooter that never existed. It was a big fat lie. What do you think the cost was for that? If you all up all the millions of dollars Rex has cost the taxpayers through his lies and insider deals like LEAPS, he is undoubtedly the biggest failure this Valley has ever seen. Not even Ron Smith was this inept.
