The 21st annual Red Poppy Festival will go on, but virtually, due to COVID-19.
While the festival has been rescheduled to Oct. 23-25, the city is offering an interim virtual festival for fans to celebrate from home, an April 23 press release said.
The online festival will include live music from Dysfunkshun Junkshun, a video replay of the 2019 Red Poppy Parade and a presentation of the history of red poppies in Georgetown by The Daytripper star Chet Garner.
T-shirts commemorating the 2020 Red Poppy Festival: Virtual Edition will be available for purchase. All proceeds will benefit The Caring Place.
