(Charlottetown) Organizers of the Cavendish Beach Music Festival presented by Bell released the following statement today.
“It is with much heartache, attention and consideration that we have decided to cancel the 2020 Cavendish Beach Music Festival presented by Bell (CBMF). Following weeks of COVID-19 monitoring, discussion and input in conjunction with officials from the Province of Prince Edward Island and the Resort Municipality of Cavendish, the safety of our community remains a priority and we will forego year twelve and reunite in 2021.
We want to thank you for your patience, your optimism and the opportunities you have provided us to help bring 11 years of this amazing festival to Cavendish Beach. We are saddened by this outcome, but we know it is the right decision.” said Jeff Squires, President of Whitecap Entertainment.
Ticket buyers will be emailed directly with information to request a refund or transfer their ticket to the 2021 festival. 2020 ticket buyers will be offered $30 in festival beach bucks (tokens) should they choose to transfer their ticket to CBMF 2021. Please note that all ticket buyers must respond by May 25th or their ticket will be automatically transferred to CBMF 2021. The purchaser of the ticket must submit for the transfer or refund, not the current ticket holder.
Those that purchased a shuttle pass from The Coach Atlantic Group will be contacted directly by Coach Atlantic Group staff to process your refund. Everyone who is booked at the Route 6 Ranch, official campground of the Cavendish Beach Music Festival presented by Bell, will be contacted to receive a refund or a campsite transfer offer.
Added Squires “Trust that the 2021 Cavendish Beach Music Festival presented by Bell will be one of the best ones yet and we are working to bring you some of the hottest names in country music. Before you know it, we’ll be announcing the 2021 lineup.
We will see you July 9-11, 2021, in the meantime stay safe, stay home, and support your favourite artists and local businesses!”
