Murrieta, which reopened its city hall June 1, has called off its annual incorporation celebration.

“Like many of you, we are saddened to pull the plug on this year’s Birthday Bash,” said Brian Ambrose, community service’s senior program manager, in a statement. “But our focus is community; and the health and safety of residents remains our top priority. We are committed to moving through the re-opening process thoughtfully, and in-sync with State and local guidelines.”
