Brett Sayles/PexelsFor only the second time in its 56-year history, Festival in the Park has been canceled. The annual three-day arts event was scheduled to take place during the weekend of September 25th in Dilworth's Freedom Park.
Festival in the Park attracts more than 125,000 attendees every year. With the coronavirus crisis far from over, the decision to cancel the 2020 event is prudent.
