The Peterborough Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA) has cancelled the Taste of Downtown event for 2020.

Originally scheduled for Saturday, June 6th, the annual event takes place on Charlotte Street in downtown Peterborough and features more than 20 local restaurants, live entertainment, a beer garden, and family activities.

“The most important thing right now is that people look after themselves, stay safe, and stay home,” says DBIA executive director Terry Guiel.

“Rest assured, when we get through this crisis and it’s safe to hold events again, we’re going to host a big party downtown and everyone’s invited.”

The event is scheduled to return on June 5, 2021.
