TASTE OF BRAGG CREEK CANCELLED
The Taste of Bragg Creek, a popular festival that showcases the tasty creations of local restaurateurs, caterers, and liquor merchants, has been cancelled in 2020. The original event was set to take place on April 3 but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The organizing committee said that it was hoping to hold a modified version of the even in September, but many of the vendors wished to hold off. The challenges posed by COVID-19 regarding gatherings and food sampling would have made the event “quite challenging” the group said on its Facebook page. The event has been rescheduled with a tentative date for April 16, 2021.
