Both of Darrington's iconic summer music festivals canceled
This will be the summer the music died in Darrington.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Summer Meltdown and the Darrington Bluegrass Festival have been canceled. The Bluegrass Festival had been scheduled for mid-July; the Meltdown was set for early August.
“In consultation with all our wonderful collaborators, it became clear that having a big get-together this summer isn’t going to be a safe thing to do,” Meltdown organizers Josh Clauson and Genevieve Hayton said in a statement on their website.
The Bluegrass and Country Music Makers’ Association, organizers of the Bluegrass Festival, reached the same conclusion.
