The Town of Cobourg has decided to cancel this summer’s annual Cobourg Waterfront Festival and the Rotary Ribfest and Music Festival due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The town says organizers of the Waterfront Festival — including the Lions Club and Rotary Club — agreed to cancel one of Ontario’s leading outdoor shows and the third-largest Canada Day celebration in the country.
Each year, the festival attracts thousands of people to the town’s waterfront and famed beach on Lake Ontario. The festival was scheduled for July 1 to 4.
The Rotary Club also agreed to cancel its Ribfest and Music Festival at Victoria Park, which was scheduled for Aug. 14 to 16. [ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter for the latest coronavirus updates ] Mayor
