Prince George’s biggest summer rock festival Cariboo Rocks the North will be taking a year off because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“With the current situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, our team has spent the past number of weeks focused on making plans for what the next steps look like for our event. This includes respecting and adhering to the variety of restrictions and facility closures that have been put in place from the Government of British Columbia,” says event organizers in a press release.
The festival was supposed to take place from August 7 to 9, 2020 but will now be held August 6, 7 and 8, 2021.
Organizers say the event was on pace to once again fill Exhibition Park, with weekend camping passes already almost sold out. The Cariboo Rocks the North team are now working out the details with the 2020 festival line-up artists to return and perform next year.
