CADILLAC â Summer weekends were a lot less busy last year, thanks to cancelations due to COVID-19.
With northern Michigan in the dead of winter, organizers of one Cadillac festival wants to make sure the community knows the plan is to return this summer.
The Cadillac Festival of the Arts is starting to reach out to the community, artists and non-profit groups, and clubs to let them know the event is looking to return in July.
The Cadillac Arts Council and Up North Arts announced last May the annual event was canceled. While the cancelation meant the festival didn t fill Cadillac City Park, the event was reimagined. The goal was to keep the community safe while offering virtual events to benefit the community, the artists, musicians and non-profits that participate in the event.

Meanwhile a study by Imperial College London found that infections were roughly flat between January 6-15 and may have started to rise towards the end of the period.
Researchers estimated the R – the rate at which infected people infect others – was 1.04 and that around one in 60 people in England were infected, based on swab testing of more than 140,000 individuals.
Steven Riley, a professor of infectious disease dynamics at Imperial, said: There s no evidence that prevalence is decreasing at present, even 10 days into lockdown.
And study director Professor Paul Elliott, the chairman in epidemiology and public health medicine at Imperial, said: What we would be hoping for during the lockdown is that we can see a downturn in the prevalence rate, a reduction in R.
