At a special meeting of the Board of County Commissioners Thursday, July 9, the commissioners voted 3-0 to ban the Carnival portion of the July Fair.
The decision was made to keep the public safe as a result of an uptick in the cases and hospitalization due to COVID-19.
Following consultation with county health officials, the city of Frankfort has decided to cancel the last city organized festival planned for this year.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been a key factor in determining festival cancellations. The city had previously announced the cancellation of all city organized festivals and events through July 4.
Until now, a decision had not been made regarding the Hispanic Heritage Festival planned for September 19. While COVID-19 is not impacting Indiana and Clinton County with the same intensity as other areas of the country, city leaders believe there is still a need to exercise caution.
Mayor Judy Sheets remarked, “We would like to keep our infection rate low. While we all miss these traditional opportunities to come together as a community, I believe that limiting large social gatherings is a small thing we can do to protect our city and our residents.”
Community Development Director Annie Bacon, who helped organize last year’s Hispanic Heritage Festival, adds, “This decision was not made lightly. Last year’s festival was a tremendous success, and we were looking forward to providing a Hispanic Heritage Festival again this year. However, our primary focus is on keeping our community safe. That includes our staff, volunteers, vendors, and festival attendees. Minimizing crowd size or trying to implement social distancing while hosting a festival are not feasible options at this time.”
Plans for city events and festivals in 2021 are underway. City leaders plan to host the Hispanic Heritage Festival next year on September 18.

Governor Holcomb is asking all Hoosiers to mask up—and remember that wearing a face mask can protect others from contracting the virus.
The City of Frankfort is committed to reducing the risk of spreading COVID-19 by asking all members of our community to wear a mask when around others.
Even though Indiana is beginning to get back on track, we must stay vigilant and #INthistogether in order to keep our state healthy and prevent a second surge of COVID-19.
REMEMBER:
• You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick
• Masks are meant to protect other people in case you are infected.
• Everyone should wear a face mask in public settings, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
• Continue to keep 6 ft between yourself and others. A cloth face mask is not a substitute for social distancing.
Please commit to helping our community by wearing a mask and #MaskUpHoosiers!
