JACKSON, MI The Ella Sharp Museum is holding off selling tickets for its popular Art, Beer and Wine Festival until June.
Organizers had expected to begin selling limited tickets for the 16th annual summer event on Saturday, May 1. But the museum pushed back the release date to mid-June for the Aug. 7 festival, saying it awaits state guidance on outdoor event capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are, as everyone else is waiting for state restrictions to be updated,” officials said in an email update. “The museum is committed to providing to our guests, sponsors, volunteers, and vendors the very best and safest experience.”
