Organizers wanted to continue the legacy of Fred Rogers, more than two decades after his death.
“And you really can’t do anything like that unless it’s live, face-to-face, touching people. Which is what Fred was all about,” said Rich Bradley, president and CEO of Buena Vista Events and Management.
A new addition this year is a revival of the piano concert “Fred the Musical.”
That will be played by Mr. Rogers’ nephew, Dan Crozier.
