Batesville, IN— The Batesville Music & Arts Festival Committee announced Monday that based on an abundance of caution and in conjunction with Governor Eric Holcomb’s Back On Track plan, the 2020 Music & Arts Festival has been canceled.
The two-day festival was scheduled for June 18-19 and marked the 47th consecutive year of the festival that celebrates the arts, music, and culture in the Batesville area. The Back On Track plan recommends that large events such as festivals are to remain closed until July 4. “We fully appreciate this annual festival that has been a summer tradition in our city,” said Mayor Mike Bettice. “Our top priority is to protect our citizens and feel it is necessary at this time to postpone the Music & Arts Festival but fully expect to renew it in 2021.”
The festival was scheduled to include the Batesville Area Arts Council, Miss Shannon’s Music Studio Children’s Music Show, Eureka Band, Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, Five Lights Band, WRBI and local restaurants.
The dates for the 2021 festival will be announced in the near future.
