When organizers of the Taste of East Cobb delayed their springtime food festival, they were hopeful of pulling it off on Halloween.
But that’s not going to happen in 2020, due to “the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” per a message sent out on Wednesday.
Instead, they’ll be aiming for May 2021, the usual month the Walton Band fundraising event has taken place.
Co-chairman David Wilson said the second postponement was made “out of an abundance of caution, and to do our part to keep our community safe.”
As many businesses were closed during the spring, the Taste of East Cobb held a special “takeout” promotion to help local restaurants.
Most late summer-early fall events in East Cobb have been called off or delayed. The Noshfest at Temple Kol Emeth, held on the Labor Day weekend, is being pushed back to the spring.
The EAST COBBER parade and festival, slated for mid-September, was cancelled. Last week, the Rotary Club of East Cobb announced its early August Dog Days Run will be a “No K” event.
Also on Wednesday, officials with the North Georgia State Fair announced the annual late September-early October event at Jim Miller Park was being cancelled.
