“I know this announcement is terribly disappointing to our community, vendors, local businesses and all of our supporters, but firmly believe this is the best decision to ensure that the Heritage Foundation can continue to serve our community for generations to come,” HFWC CEO Bari Beasley said in an announcement.
Additionally, the foundation’s Heritage Ball, which was to be held Oct. 3 will also be canceled.
Events at The Franklin Theatre as of June 18 have also been canceled, with the exception of two concerts scheduled in July. Organizers are working to reschedule events for the 2021-22 season.
