The cancellation announcements continue for Milwaukee's major outdoor festivals. The Bay View Bash became the latest festival to announce it would not take place this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Organizers say they expect the annual September festival will return Sept. 18, 2021.
Here’s the official statement from the Bay View Neighborhood Association:
We have made the painful decision to not host this year’s Bay View Bash. Our mission is to support our community, and right now we feel the best way we can support one another is by not putting each other at risk for a potential wave two of Covid-19.
The Bash is run entirely by volunteers and all the money we raise is given back to local non-profits, schools, and hardworking groups that do so much for our community. We encourage you all if you have the ability to, please consider donating to Bay View restaurants, bars, shops, venues, salons, and gyms to help keep us strong.
Keep your eyes peeled to our page as we come up with different ideas to help raise funds for the neighborhood.
