Anglesea Irish Society cancels 2020 Boots at the Beach due to pandemic


PRESS RELEASE

Wildwood, NJ - As a direct result of the restrictions in response of the COVID-19 pandemic and for the safety of our festivalgoers, it gives us great sadness that we must CANCEL the 2020 Boots at the Beach Country Music Festival presently scheduled for Friday, September 18-20, 2020.

The Executive Orders currently placed by Governor Murphy makes it impossible for us to plan for a festival that has seen attendance grow to over 30,000 over the course of the three-day weekend in 2019.

We are sad to announce that we unfortunately must cancel this year's Boots at the Beach Festival. We tried to hold out as long as possible in making this most difficult decision, but in all fairness to our musicians, vendors, sponsors, hotel partners and all of our wonderful fans, we wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible.

There are many factors that we had to consider and everyone's safety is obviously our number one priority.

Anglesea Irish Society President Bill O'Connell stated, "With everything going on and with the ever-changing cancellations and rescheduling of events, county-wide, including the most recent cancellations of the Irish Fall Festival, we had no other choice than to cancel this year's Boots at the Beach Country Music Festival for the safety of our attendees."
