The Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce today announced the cancellation of the 9th annual Slice of Saugatuck Festival due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The annual food tasting and retail experience that promotes local Saugatuck businesses was scheduled to run on Saturday, Sept. 12.
“While we would love to promote our Saugatuck restaurants and businesses at this very important time, we just can’t run this event in a socially distant and safe manner,” said Matthew Mandell, executive director of the Chamber.
Run eight out of the last nine years, the festival has become a mainstay in the fall with over 2,300 attendees and 60 participating businesses. Over $30,000 had been donated by the Chamber to Homes with Home from proceeds from the event.
