The street.life! 400 sitdown dinner in Portsmouth is postponed until Wednesday because of the forecast calling for rain.

The sold-out event, which will turn downtown Portsmouth into a giant dinner party, will now take place Wednesday as widespread showers are forecast for Tuesday. Wednesday's forecast calls for partly sunny skies and a high during the day near 80.

"Mother Nature calls the shots, as she has for more than 400 years," co-sponsor The Chamber Collaborative of Greater Portsmouth said in a statement.

The event begins at 6 p.m. with a cocktail reception on Pleasant Street followed by dinner of lobster, chicken, and corn and entertainment at 7 p.m. Dessert of historically-inspired Portsmouth orange cake follows with the the evening's surprise finale at 8:45 p.m.
