Another summer festival has fallen victim to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Essex council has voted to cancel the Essex Fun Fest as a public safety measure due to COVID-19.
The recommendation came from the festival committee which met last month to discuss the issue.
Committee chair Joe Garon says another factor in the decision was the fact the ride company, World's Finest Shows, could not ensure it would be operating at the time of the festival.
The 33rd annual Essex Fun Fest was scheduled to go July 2 to 5.
