New London Safety concerns associated with the coronavirus pandemic have led organizers to cancel this year’s Sailfest, the city’s largest annual festival.
It’s the second year in a row that the four-decade-old event has been canceled. Sailfest went virtual last year.
Barbara J. Neff, executive director of the Downtown New London Associations and owner of Neff Productions said plans are underway, in coordination with the City of New London, for a series of smaller summer events.
Announcements on those events are forthcoming. Visit www.downtownnewlondonassociation.com for a complete list of events and times.
