The Wire & Wood Music Festival, a two-day autumn tradition in Alpharetta, has become yet another casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The city of Alpharetta’s Recreation, Parks & Cultural Services team had been hopeful that the event could proceed in some capacity; however, it is just not possible this year, due to COVID-19,” according to the Wire & Wood website.

The eighth annual edition of the music festival had been scheduled for Oct. 9-10 for multiple stages around downtown Alpharetta and on a new indoor stage in City Hall. The event offers local and regional musical talent performing, and talking about, their original works.

“We are going to set aside the 2020 event, and we look forward to bringing you great, original music from local, regional and national singer/songwriters at Wire & Wood 2021,” set for Oct. 8-9, 2021, the city said. Information: https://wireandwoodalpharetta.com/
