Good Afternoon,

It is with great sadness that I send this email to you all today. The MDDA is announcing the cancellation of several Downtown Marquette summer events, including Blueberry Festival, originally scheduled for Friday, July 31; the June 18 and July 16 editions of Music on Third, as well as Classic Cars on Third, originally scheduled for August 15. The August 20 and September 17 editions of Music on Third remain on the schedule and will take place if conditions allow. Any registration fees paid by businesses for Blueberry Festival will be returned in the next few weeks.

We understand that these events are integral to the lively, welcoming, and vibrant atmosphere in Downtown Marquette. However, the current COVID-19 has posed challenges that we are unable to overcome.

We are planning alternative promotional activities for this summer, so stay tuned.

Wishing you all health and safety,

Tara Laase-McKinney
