Kingsville summer festival cancelled

Another summer festival has been called off with continuing concerns surrounding COVID-19.

The Town of Kingsville announced the cancellation of the Highland Games Tuesday. The games were originally scheduled for June 26, 2021.

"The current circumstances are unique and unquestionably challenging, and the work that is being done by so many to carry us all beyond the pandemic is inspiring," a statement from the municipality said. "The Town of Kingsville and the Committee of Council look forward to welcoming everyone to the Kingsville Highland Games on June 25th, 2022."

The Town of Kingsville hosted the Highland Games in 2019 for the first time since 1987. The 2020 games were also cancelled due to COVID-19.

The Town of Tecumseh cancelled the Corn Festival usually held at the end of August earlier this year.
