2020 Greendale Fourth Fest Canceled Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

GREENDALE, WI — The Greendale annual Lions Family Fourth Fest is the latest summer tradition to be canceled in 2020 due to ongoing concerns over the coronavirus pandemic in Wisconsin.

Members of the Greendale Lions Club made the announcement Wednesday morning.

"We are sad to share that as a result of the current COVID pandemic and the need to provide appropriate social distancing and to assure the safety of our guests, community, and vendors, the Greendale Lions will be regretfully cancelling the Family 4th Fest for 2020," organizers said. "Thank you for your interest in our festival and for supporting the Greendale Lions Club."

The annual Greendale tradition was scheduled to run from July 2-4 in Downtown Greendale. Last year's festival was held at the Historic Hose Tower, 5699 Parking Street and featured rides, live music, craft beer and other festivities.
