Roachdale Rib & Blues Festival canceled
The Roachdale Revitalization Cooperative Alliance’s board of directors has announced the cancelation of the 2020 Roachdale Rib & Blues Festival.
“Given the information available today and the uncertainty surrounding very large gatherings, we cannot in good conscience proceed with our festival this year,” RRCA president Joe Buser said. “It’s all very disappointing, but for the safety of everyone, it’s just something we have to work through this year.”
This would have been the seventh annual festival in Roachdale, where the community has seen growing popularity of the event over the years, starting with about 200 attendees and growing to more than 1,000 in 2019.
The festival was to take place on Sept. 26.
“We will continue to work hard on putting on a spectacular festival in 2021,” Buser said.
