“This was to be our 20th Anniversary, and we had planned another spectacular event around that celebration,” organizers said in a statement. “Rest assured, we will bring that same level of dedication and effort to the 2021 edition.”
They said they are looking for other opportunities to present live blues music in downtown Kitchener this year.
