The third annual Hoptown Harvest Festival has been cancelled for this year, due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns.
According to a news release, the festival had originally be scheduled for the weekend of September 24—officials say they attempted to find ways to hold the festival while adhering to health and safety guidelines, but ultimately decided it was in the best interest of the public to push the festival back to the 2021.
The festival includes staples such as the Farm to Table Dinner, the Downtown Farmer’s Market Vintage Arts and Craft Fair, along with numerous vendors and kids activities. The title sponsor of this year’s event was Continental Mills and Plant Manager Don Rudy says, “Although we are very disappointed this year’s Hoptown Harvest Festival has been cancelled, we fully support all efforts to keep our community safe. We look forward to bringing the festival back next year and providing our community and surrounding region with top-notch entertainment, engagement and locally sourced products.”
The Hoptown Harvest Festival is set to take place September 23 through September 25 in 2021.
