In light of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the Concession BIA has cancelled the 2020 Concession Streetfest.
This has been an incredibly difficult decision to make. Now in its 24th year, Streetfest is the BIA’s biggest event and we’ve been working hard for months to ensure that 2020’s edition would be another standout day for Concession Street and our community.
As stewards of the street, the health and safety of our attendees, vendors, performers, volunteers and Streetfest organizers – as well as our BIA members – always comes first. We’re in the midst of a global pandemic and based on consultations with various levels of government and health care professionals, we realize that it will be impossible for a large scale event like Streetfest to happen this year.
All of the energy and ideas we had for 2020’s Streetfest will be channeled into 2021. We’ll be back, better than ever before and ready to celebrate with you.
We invite you to follow our updates on other Concession BIA events throughout the year at www.concessionstreet.ca. Future planned events will be assessed given the situation at that time, and decided if safe to proceed or cancel in the interest of public safety.
Inquiries can be sent to the Concession BIA office at concessionbia@gmail.com or to the Board Chair, Eshe Despres at eshebellydancer@hotmail.com
