Another annual festival is canceled as the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact the state and nation.

WTOC reported this year’s Savannah Food & Wine Festival had been canceled.

“We are postponing our programming for 2020,” the festival said on Twitter Friday afternoon. “We plan to reschedule for Nov 8 – 14, 2021. With so many unknowns, we have chosen to err on the side of caution. As always thank you for your support! Cheers!”

Those who have already purchased tickets can get a refund at the festival website or have the existing ticket credited to next year’s festival.

Festival organizers said 2020 ticket holders will be guaranteed 2021 tickets should they credit their ticket to next year’s festival. They will also get a 20% discount on any additional 2021 festival tickets.
