For yet another year, zombies will have to stay in the grave and wait for the next event. This years Aug. 28 Zombie Attack has had to be canceled. They must prefer live and healthy flesh instead of the COVID-exposed kind.
In order to protect their event goers, the organizers have decided that this just isnt the time to host a big close-contact event, even if it is outside, according to a Facebook post. They have rescheduled the event to 2022.
According to WDRB, organizers also couldnt find enough police officers to staff the event.
This doesnt mean you cant still dress up like a zombie and do interesting zombie things. You just cant do it at the Zombie Attack, or in large groups lest you spread the plague.
Sadly, event cancellations are coming rapidly. Weve lost several events and concerts due to the rise of the delta variant of COVID and the continued resistance to the vaccine. How much more evidence do we need? Get vaxxed folks so we can do more stuff.
Nevertheless, these events have also been cancelled:
The Pixies at Paristown Pointe
Nine Inch Nails at Louder than Life.
