2020's EVENT CANCELLATION DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS PRESS RELEASE May 12, 2020... The Pentastic Jazz Festival Society Board of Directors has determined that the Provincial Roadmap for Economic re-opening prevents the occurrence of the Jazz Festival scheduled for September 11, 12, and 13, 2020. President Michael Campbell said It is with regret and disappointment that we are not in a position to move forward with the festival this year. The festival falls within Phase 4 of the Province’s plan to remove crowd and border restrictions and therefore it is unrealistic to continue with plans for this year. Phase 4 is the final stage of a planned re-opening of events such as the Jazz Festival and as most bands travel to Penticton from the United States, it would be impossible to bring them to Canada with the border restrictions still in place. If enthusiasm and optimism dictated, there would be no question of proceeding, but such is not the case and the safety and well being of our patrons, volunteers and musicians must be respected stated Campbell. Our focus now is planning for the 24th Annual Jazz Festival scheduled for September 10, 11, and 12, 2021. - PENTASTIC JAZZ FESTIVAL SOCIETY REFUNDS Tickets currently purchased for this year’s Pentastic Jazz Festival (September 11-13, 2020) date will be honored for the September 10-12, 2021 date.
