Norwich – Mayor Peter Nystrom’s One City Forum scheduled for Saturday has been canceled to allow residents and city officials to attend two major events going on in the city.

The Grecian Festival at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 247 Washington St., and A Taste of Italy both will run from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday.

“The mayor hopes that everyone will attend and enjoy themselves and have fun,” said Bonnie Cuprak, secretary for the mayor’s office.
