CEDARBURG -- One of the largest two-day events in Ozaukee County -- Cedarburg's Strawberry Festival -- has joined a growing list of festivals that will not happen this summer due to coronavirus concerns, Festivals of Cedarburg, Inc. announced Friday, May 1. The outdoor festival in downtown Cedarburg was slated for June 27-28, 2020.
“This was a difficult decision to make as our Board of Directors considered all the options put before them,” said Gordon Goggin, Festival President. “With COVID-19, we have been closely monitoring the situation and our primary concern has been for health and safety. The Board unanimously decided cancellation was the only responsible decision to make to ensure the safety of our community, attendees and participants.”
The organization is exploring other options to replace the 2020 Strawberry Festival and will provide updates as decisions are made.
