SALISBURY, Md. – Wicomico County officials have made the difficult decision to postpone the Good Beer and Autumn Wine festivals, originally scheduled for Oct. 9-10 and Oct. 17-18, respectively.
The decision to postpone amid the COVID-19 pandemic was made after careful consideration by the Recreation, Parks & Tourism department, in coordination with the Wicomico County Health Department and Department of Emergency Services.
“Postponing these events was not a decision we made lightly,” said Cole Lacey, assistant manager of Wicomico County’s tourism division. “We know the Good Beer and Autumn Wine festivals are fall traditions for many people, but we had to prioritize the health and safety of attendees.”
The events have been shifted to the spring, with the Autumn Wine Festival scheduled for April 24-25, followed by the Good Beer Festival, April 30-May 1.
Event organizers will continue to monitor COVID-19 in the coming months and reevaluate the situation with the Wicomico County Health Department and Department of Emergency Services prior to putting tickets on sale in late winter.
Good Beer Festival organizers have pivoted their efforts to develop a new beer-focused event dubbed Good Beer, Good Bites, which will take place inside at the Wicomico Civic Center on Saturday, Oct. 3. This intimate seated tasting experience will feature three flights of craft beer, dinner, live music and tabletop games.
“We are excited to offer an event to fill the void the Good Beer Festival will leave behind this fall,” said Program Director Jamie Nichols. “We are working hand-in-hand with Civic Center staff to plan an enjoyable and safe evening for attendees.”
Prior to reopening in June, the Civic Center implemented new health and safety protocols, including physical distancing, entry screenings, cleaning and disinfecting, hand sanitizer stations, designated restrooms, and enhanced protocols for meal service.
Tickets for Good Beer, Good Bites will be sold by tables of four for $200, with the option to add up to two additional seats for $50 per person. Tickets are slated to go on sale Friday, Aug. 28. The event is limited to 200 attendees. For more information about this event, visit www.WicomicoCivicCenter.org.

I have it on good authority that America is going to close down. Troops are being deployed and will be here soon. I never wanted to panic people but this is so contagious everyone will get it and die. Stock up on all goods and stay home. Flattening the curve is a must before it’s normal again. but because of China’s influence on American politics, Hollywood, schools, big tech, WHO, CDC, Bill Gates and the Doctors in the task force flattened curves will be meaningless..Closers will continue, cdc and WHO will change statements and guidelines based on zero science and riots will be in every major city because China will fund it through various shell companies. Big tech will not ban any social media involvement unless it is protesting mask. Riots ok. However positive news hotline set up to snitch on Americans not wearing a mask or social distancing but not for drug dealers or riots to be snitched on.
Booooo!
Why not just postpone autumn and go for a double autumn in 2021 to take our minds off the crap (more bogus investigations, more MSM weirdness, more Democrat double standards), for a quiet changing of the leaves and a fun Halloween?
Oh well. More time to focus on my dutch ruddering technique.
And a good time will be had by all.
Traditional weekend gatherings are POOF for the remainder of 2020.
So what, won't stop me from consuming or grilling or eating. Will miss the traditional happenings here on the shore - they will be back. Looking forward to Spring 2021.
Oh well, I kept telling you martial law is coming or at the very least civil war and you retards can't even begin to see that this is the last pivotal point in time and history wither we go right or left, it is all bad, but I can assure you, going one way over the other will result in you all being 100% slaves for the rest of your life and then your kids and grand kids will be too, and they will never get to know what freedom is or was!!!! You will be forced to do everything and anything soon as AI and the digital currency comes full swing!!!! The evil POSes are trying to fix their crap they have done to humanity for the past 50+ years and this is the only way they can do it without you slaves blaming them, and this is also to take your rights, as they have and still are every day, as things go from temporary to mandated!!!
Now all the drunks will have to stay home and guzzle. Bet your family wishes the booze fests were going on.
Makes two of us
2:36 - um, what? Talk about an off topic rant.
