ATLANTA — The Gwinnett County Fair is taking a year off because of concerns about the spread of COVID-19.
The Gwinnett County Fairgrounds Board of Directors decided Monday night to cancel this year’s edition of the fair.
“After careful review of the COVID-19 requirements, the Board of Directors feel its in the best interest of the community, staff and volunteers to cancel the 2020 Gwinnett County Fair,” a statement said on the fair’s website. “We look forward to seeing everyone again in September 2021.”
The fair was originally scheduled from Thursday September 17 to Sunday September 27.
Gwinnett County reported 11,691 cases of COVID-19 as of Monday. The county has averaged about 180 new cases a day for the last week.
More than a dozen events scheduled this year for the fairgrounds have been cancelled. You can see a full list on their website.
