A new date for Trucks on the Beach at Weston-super-Mare has been announced.
Trucks at the Beach was due to take place in the resort in August.
But it was postponed after North Somerset Council said due to the influx of visitors it was expecting in the seaside town, pressure on diversion routes or competition for parking could be "unmanageable".
The news came as a ‘devastating blow’ to organisers who had put months of work into preparations for the show.
The fundraiser was first held last year at Weston Rugby Club, with a range of trucks on display as well as food, music and a bar.
Attendance was free but donations were invited to support Alfie's Convoy and Truckshow, which is raising money for a young cancer patient with neuroblastoma.
The resort has already seen a huge influx of visitors since restrictions started to lift earlier this year.
And traffic is already an issue in the town with major roadworks in place as part of improvements to Walliscote Road and Alexandra Parade as part of the pedestrianisation of Regent Street.
Now it has been announced that Trucks on the Beach will take place next year from August 20-21.
North Somerset Council executive member for placemaking and economy Councillor Mark Canniford said: “Events in North Somerset are vital to the local and visitor economy, especially after Covid.
"We’re delighted that we’ve been able to find a new date for Trucks at the Beach, especially with the fantastic fundraising efforts this event brings, and we look forward to welcoming the people of North Somerset to this great event.”
Organiser Rob Holden, from Trucks at the Beach, said: “Following discussions with the council, we’re pleased to announce dates for 2022.”
“It’s vital that we continue our fundraising efforts in our campaign to raise money for Alfie’s ongoing fight with Neuroblastoma, and to bring Trucks at the Beach to the people of Weston and beyond.”
