Buskers on the Bay Festival cancelled
The 30th annual Buskers on the Bay Festival has been cancelled because of COVID-19.
In a statement posted on Market Square’s Facebook page, organizers said they were disappointed to pull the plug on one of the “oldest festivals in Canada.”
Organizers said they’re aware the region will miss the “working acts, children’s activities and the extensive range of vendors” they had planned.
“But the safety of our community is our first priority and we understand the importance to cancel all large events and mass gatherings to help minimize the spread of the virus.”
In April, the province ordered the cancellation of all events through to the end of the year.
“It is definitely disappointing to have to make this decision but we have big plans to celebrate both our 30th & 31st anniversaries of the Buskers on the Bay Festival in 2021,” organizers said.
Buskers on the Bay was scheduled to take place from July 15 to 19.
