A mass of music loves listens intently as musicians perform during the Winter Park Jazz Festival in 2019. This summer’s events hosted by the Winter Park Fraser Chamber, including Jazz Fest, have been canceled.<\/strong>

The Winter Park Fraser Chamber of Commerce announced the cancellation of its summer event lineup, including Jazz Festival, High Note Thursdays and Solshine, due to the public health restrictions for the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Chamber Executive Director Catherine Ross explained the chamber didn\u2019t expect a time this summer where gatherings over 200 people would be allowed, pretty much ruling out hosting any events.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just do not foresee that there\u2019s a time when the state will open up gathering numbers in enough to be able to have large events,\u201d Ross said. \u201cIf we do a tiny event with a band, then we\u2019re just going to lose money.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, the cancellations only apply to Chamber sponsored events, such as Jazz Festival, Solshine, Winter Park Uncorked, High Note Thursdays, Fitness in the Park, the Run for Independence, the 4th of July celebration, the Switchback concert and Tequila and Tacos.<\/p>\n
