Downtown Improvement District news release:<\/p>\n

BuskerFest 2020 has been cancelled<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(July 27, 2020) – For the past decade, the Downtown Improvement District (DID) has been overjoyed to bring you one day each year filled with wonder, music and magic. Today we are disappointed to announce that the previously postponed production of BuskerFest 2020 has been cancelled. But do not fear, the magic has not disappeared! In June 2021, we will be back with anticipation and eagerness to produce a celebration of the street performer once again!<\/p>\n

As our event management team continues to monitor current State and County Back on Track guidelines, we are carefully reviewing each DID event date to determine if and how the production fits into current mandates and best practice safety protocols. BuskerFest\u2019s historically high attendance combined with the size of its footprint does not allow for proper social distancing protocols to be met that would safeguard the health of attendees, performers, and event staff.<\/p>\n

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to the return of the magic in June 2021!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
