An expectation of bad weather has canceled the second day of the Tampa Bay Black Heritage Festival Music Fest in downtown Tampa.

Sunday's concert at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park was to be headlined by jazz saxophone great David Sanborn.

However, Sunday's forecast calls for the possibility of strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, according to the National Weather Service.

The city "would like to insure the safety of everyone," the festival wrote on its Twitter account.
