CANCELLATION OF THE 2020 EVENT
Given the current uncertainty over the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing public health concerns, we regret our decision to cancel this year's BanjoFest and The Midwest Banjo Jamboree. We anticipate that public restrictions on large social gatherings may remain in place for several months, and it is in the best interest and safety of our festival attendees and performers to "take a brief pause for the cause."
For the first time in our 56-year history, we will not be able to go on with the show, and recognize that is disappointing and heartbreaking for all of our friends and musical family who have supported this event so generously year-after-year. Please look for upcoming announcements of the dates of the 57th Annual Midwest BanjoFest and join us again in September 2021, when we resume America's longest-running festival celebrating America's Instrument...The Banjo!
