Two of Columbus major summer events have fallen to the pandemic.
The 2021 Columbus Arts Festival and the Jazz & Ribs Fest have been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Greater Columbus Arts Council made its announcement Thursday, that the annual Arts Festival won t be happening in June because of the continued increases in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations and slowed vaccine distribution. We must put the health and safety of our patrons, artists, performers, vendors and sponsors first, GCAC President Tom Katzenmeyer said in a news release.
Katzenmeyer said there are no plans for a virtual festival as there was for last year s event.
