The Watts Summer Festival, which was scheduled to begin this weekend, was postponed today for at least a month so festival organizers could meet a county requirement of $1 million in liability insurance, officials said.
“They had half of the insurance and they thought they had the other half and it turned out they didn’t get it,” said James Cleaver, an aide to County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn. County officials asked festival organizers to reschedule the event sometime after Sept. 1.
