WASHINGTON, Ill. — The Washington Chamber of Commerce and other community entities and officials have canceled the 2020 Washington Good Neighbor Days.
The festival was set to be held May 27-31. The three-day event was canceled due to safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are extremely disappointed to not be able to hold the festival as expected,” said Washington Chamber of Commerce Director Chevie Kriete.
“Our committee works on Good Neighbor Days starting in October and to not be able to see the festival come to fruition is heartbreaking to all of us. I know my family looks to the festival as a kick-off to summer, it just won’t be the same.”
The Chamber of Commerce is considering finding ways to hold parts of the festival virtually or on a later date this year.
