Charlegrark Country Music Marathon cancelled for 2021

Lake Charlegrark Country Music Marathon organisers will turn their attention to 2022 after putting 30th birthday celebrations on hold.

President James Hawkins said Victorian COVID-19 restrictions made it ‘impossible to plan ahead in these trying times’, leading the committee to cancel the 2021 event.

“There are too many unknown factors, such as crowd size, interstate travelling and so on,” he said.

“Most important is the health and safety of our followers, our artists, our volunteers, our sponsors and our committee members.”

Mr Hawkins said the event committee extended its support to the live music industry and acknowledged the devastating effect the pandemic had had on the industry across Australia. 

“We look forward to some normality returning to our lives soon,” he said.

“In the meantime, the committee will be busy planning ahead for our 30th year celebration – and what a ripper it will be.”

The 2022 Lake Charlegrark Country Music Marathon is scheduled for February 18 to 20. 

Mr Hawkins said people could follow the event’s Facebook page or visit website www.lccmm.com.au for updates.
