16th Annual African American Festival Cancelled
Due to the Covid-19
pandemic, the annual Toledo African American Festival and
Parade has been cancelled. The Festival and Parade was
slated to take place the weekend of July 17-19, 2020. This
is the first time in 16 years that the event will not take
place.
“We are saddened that we
are unable to hold the festival this year due to coronavirus,”
said Suzette Cowell, CEO of Toledo Urban Federal Credit. She
continued by saying, “The Toledo community has shown their
continued support through out the years and for that we are
thankful. We feel, however, that it is in the best interest
of the community we serve to cancel the event.” |
