HARRINGTON, Del.- The Delaware State Fair is still on for July 23-Aug. 1, but its summer concert series has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, fair organizers announced Monday.

The concerts canceled include the Quillen Arena’s Q-Series on June 13 and those in the M&T Bank Grandstand that would have been held during the days of the fair.

“While no one knows for sure where we will be in late July in terms of Governor Carney’s plans to re-open Delaware’s economy, one thing for sure is that the M&T Bank Grandstand and Quillen Arena Q-Series concert and show environment are not currently flexible enough to support the concept of social distancing as we understand it” Delaware State Fair General Manager Bill DiMondi said in a statement.

However, organizers said that despite the cancellations of the concerts, they are still planning to conduct the fair.

"We are committed to delivering a fair of some kind in late July, within the parameters of what Delaware Gov. John Carney and public health officials consider to be safe," organizers announced on the fair's website.
