Musky Festival Hayward Wisconsin
71st Annual Musky Festival
Things To Do / Events / Locations / Dec 3, 2020
Hayward Wis -- Sponsored by Adventure RV and Hayward Power Sports, the 71st Annual Musky Festival was cancelled for 2020 due to Covid-19 concerns.
The 71st Annual Musky Festival is slated for June 25-28, 2021 with a jam packed event schedule.
Statement from the Hayward Chamber of Commerce:
After exploring various options and considering a number of factors, our Hayward Area Chamber of Commerce has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Musky Festival due to the uncertainties associated with the current pandemic and the gathering of large groups. The health, safety and well-being of the Hayward area community, festival attendees, participants, sponsors, volunteers and staff have remained our top priorities as we have monitored the COVID-19 situation.
Even with uncertainty in the world, we know how determined our community is to move ahead to make the very best of the days, weeks and months to come, and that is absolutely what is going to happen. It will simply not include large festivals for the time being. We look forward to coming together for next year’s 71st Musky Festival scheduled for June 25-27, 2021. In the meantime, we know that all will find ways to safely enjoy our beautiful ‘Neck’ of the Woods as we lift one another up!
