THE CITY OF LEWISBURG HAS ANNOUNCED THE CANCELLATION OF 2020 GOATS, MUSIC, AND MORE FESTIVAL SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER. DUE TO THE LACK OF CLEAR AND TIMELY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RELATED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, IT HAS NOT ALLOWED THE CITY TO PLAN FOR THE ANTICIPATED CROWDS AND THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE LIMITATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 17TH YEAR FOR THE ANNUAL FESTIVAL THAT HONORS THOSE FAMOUS “FAINTING” GOATS OF MARSHALL COUNTY WHILE PROVIDING A GREAT LINEUP OF ENTERTAINMENT AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY TO ENJOY. THE GOATS, MUSIC AND MORE FESTIVAL HAS BEEN NAMED AS ONE OF THE TOP 20 EVENTS TO SEE BY THE SOUTHEAST TOURISM SOCIETY THREE TIMES AND EACH YEAR DRAWS THOUSANDS FROM SEVERAL STATES.
