Hyde Park Summer Fest Canceled for 2021
STATEMENT FROM HYDE PARK SUMMER FEST ORGANIZERS
CHICAGO, IL- Below is a statement from the organizers of the Hyde Park Summer Fest:“After thoughtful evaluation of recent COVID-19 developments and consultation with various stakeholders, we have decided to cancel the 2021 Hyde Park Summer Fest scheduled for September 11th and 12th on the Midway Plaisance. The Hyde Park Summer Fest, formerly known as the Brew Fest, is rooted in the South Side community. At the heart, this festival has always been community-focused and community-driven. It is our obligation to prioritize our community’s health and safety over any other interests. With increasing COVID-19 cases and associated risks, we do not believe it is the right choice to move forward with the festival at this time. This was an incredibly difficult decision, but we believe putting the community’s health and safety first is the most responsible decision.
Let us all protect our loved ones and prepare for a successful Hyde Park Summer Fest in 2022! For more information about vaccinations visit the City of Chicago’s website.”
