No, the Festival is cancelled. Depending on the pandemic, there could be some type of alternate event with strict social distancing measures in place. However, the Festival at Heritage Landing has been canceled for 2020.
With all of the moving parts that go with planning a festival, timing had to be considered. Travel and visa paperwork both take months to coordinate efficiently for musicians. At this time health department officials are still recommending social distancing guidelines which is problematic at best in the festival setting. Providing enough lead time for musicians and suppliers was key.
No, unfortunately, all events sponsored by the Michigan Irish Music Festival over our weekend will be canceled for 2020.
