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.”
