The event billed as the Official Kick Off to Summer will not happen in 2021 due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.
The Board of Directors of Celebrate De Pere announced the cancellation of the Memorial Day weekend celebration due to “concerns for the health, safety, and welfare of all.”
“Unfortunately, our community, state and nation have still not arrived at that destination and so the journey is not complete nor has our goal of being able to ensure the safety of all our attendees so that the community can re-embrace Celebrate DePere as the official festival kickoff to summer as it has done for almost three decades,” reads part of a statement on the Celebrate De Pere website.
The Board of Directors hopes the event can return in 2022.
