“The safety and health of our guests, artists, partners, and staff are always our first priority,” said Bill Donabedian, Bellwether Music Festival co-founder.
“We held in there as long as we could, and even looked at alternative plans such as drive-in options, but ultimately we couldn’t be sure the state of Ohio would be open for festivals this August.”
In the past, the alternative music festival goers were able to camp out in the Renaissance Park at the three day long event.
