The 2020 Ballan Autumn Festival – rescheduled for Spring on October 17 – has now been cancelled altogether.
President Deryk Carruthers said the ongoing impact of coronavirus and recent outbreaks in Victoria had convinced organisers that running the festival at any time this year would be an unacceptable risk to locals.
“We are disappointed because the Autumn Festival is certainly the biggest trading day in Ballan’s commercial year, but safety comes first – no question about it,” he said.
