Earlier today, the Germantown Festival announced that it would be cancelling this year’s event due to concerns over the number of active COVID-19 cases. The following notice, received from the festival proprietors, speaks for itself:
“We are so sorry to announce the sudden cancellation of the 2021 Germantown Festival scheduled for September 11 & 12.
The continued worsening of the number of active COVID-19 cases in our area has caused the Festival Committee with direction from local health officials to make the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Germantown Festival. Our Public Health and Safety must be our first priority.
“Vendors who have paid registration fees for 2021 may either request a refund or ask to have their payments roll over for the 2022 Germantown Festival scheduled for September 10 & 11.
Knowing vendors have already invested considerable time and money into preparation for the Festival, we truly apologize for this sad announcement. Please advise me of your decision to cancel or roll over your fees as soon as possible.
“Hope everyone will stay healthy, follow all safety protocols, and come back better than ever for September 10 & 11, 2022.”
