The festival was scheduled to be held on Wright State University’s Dayton Campus in September, but after considering the health and well-being of attendees, volunteers and performers, the committee felt is best to postpone the event.
The Festival of Flight celebrates the rich legacy of aviation and innovation in the Miami Valley, stated a media release.
The event serves to introduce the public to the National Aviation Heritage Area, which includes Festival of Flight partners the National Aviation Hall of Fame and the National Museum of the United States Air Force, as well as providing STEAM-related opportunities for children of all ages through several other organizations.
“Festival organizers also canceled out of respect for struggling local businesses that financially support the festival,” the release stated.
The date of 2021′s Festival of Flight has not yet been determined.
