Oktoberfest Canceled In Canonsburg

Canonsburg’s annual Oktoberfest is the latest victim of the coronavirus pandemic. Officials announced Monday that they were forced to cancel the event, typically held the third week of September, because of the state Department of Health’s restriction of outdoor gatherings to 250 people. The event generally draws tens of thousands over three days. Organizers say they held out as long as possible in hopes of being able to hold the festival. Like many other events that have cancelled this year, officials say they are already looking forward to next year.
