Mattoon IL- Bagelfest 2020 is Cancelled
We are sad to announce the Mattoon Bagelfest 2020 is cancelled. In light of the guidelines for large gatherings in both phases 3 and 4 of the Illinois Governor’s plan for re-opening, we simply cannot proceed with the annual event.
We know many will be disappointed in this decision but it is truly out of our hands in this unprecedented time.
It takes many weeks of preparation, dedicated volunteers, and sponsors to pull off this community event and we value everyone who said yes to being involved this year and in year’s past. We will miss seeing you this year but please mark your calendars for Bagelfest 2021, July 14-17 when we will come back bigger and better.
