Will outdoor festivals and indoor concerts return by this fall? The Sweetwater 420 Festival originally scheduled for April of 2020 was rescheduled to April of 2021 and has now been canceled. The only major outdoor festival that is still happening this year may be the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, rescheduled to October.
Indoor concerts and performances have also been postponed, to 2022 in many cases. Some indoor music venues are open but with limited seating and mostly local or “tribute band” acts. Maybe “herd immunity” will be declared by the end of the summer and things can start getting back to normal.
