The 2021 Arizona Renaissance Festival has been canceled due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in the state, organizers said Wednesday in a Facebook post.
“With COVID-19 cases surging throughout the state, the Arizona Renaissance Festival has cancelled its announced ticket Pre-Sale and will not be opening this season,” a statement said. “We are saddened this decision may result in further hardship for our valued renaissance community of artists and disappoint our patrons.”
Earlier in the week, the festival announced its intent to open for the season in February with COVID-19 safety protocols in place.
