A staple event in the community has been cancelled due to COVID-19 for the second year in a row.
Lucan’s Baconfest which draws thousands of people to the community has decided in the interest of keeping everyone safe to not hold the event this year.
Mayor Cathy Burghardt Jesson said in a statement to myFM “ Obviously I’m very disappointed, but it is the responsible decision given what we are facing this year. I look forward to 2022, when I’m confident we will be able to welcome bacon and bike enthusiasts back to Lucan. I’m hoping that things will open up in a way that we can organize some small pop up community events that will allow our residents and families to enjoy some small events to enjoy, for a sense of community, normality and that will provide some much needed fun!”
The tentative date for the 2022 Baconfest is July 9th.
Vendors and anyone who purchased tickets is asked to contact Lisa Deboer at ldeboer@lucanbiddulph.on.ca or Teresa Burns at teresa@hogtowncycles.ca
