More summer events are being canceled due to COVID-19 amidst uncertainty about when restrictions on large gatherings will be lifted.
Some large events have been already cancelled preemptively for this year, such as Whitehall’s Montana Mule Days and the Governor’s Cup road race in Helena, both typically held in June, said Jefferson County Events Coordinator Bruce Binkowski at a meeting last week with the Jefferson County Commissioners, public health and emergency personnel, as well as other county officials and event organizers. They met to discuss how to handle upcoming events as the state moves through the phases of Gov. Steve Bullock’s plan to reopen Montana in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The annual Wizard and Fairy Festival, scheduled for June 27 at Tizer Gardens in Jefferson City, is also canceled, said Belva Lotzer on Friday.
