The Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival has been watching carefully and with concern on how the Corona Virus (Covid-19) will be affecting the 2020 festival this August. As of now we are still planning on proceeding with the festival as planned. We are also aware that the mainstay of our attendees do fall into the age category that would be more susceptible to the virus. Because of this concern we will be ready to make necessary changes to help with the social distancing issue, if that in fact is still a required protocol. We also may see a dramatic reduction of attendees which may create a need to limit the number of performers that will be participating. We will watch this issue very closely.
We are in talks with the performers and will be updating our plans as we move forward.
The best scenario of course is that this current situation passes and all begins to return to a normalcy during the next few months. Time will tell.
If you are on our mailing list there will be updates via emails as news warrants.
Thank you,
Stevens Price
Festival Director
