KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The coronavirus pandemic continues to force the cancelation of many of the Kansas City area’s summer events.

Prairie Village officials announced Wednesday that the 2020 Prairie Village Jazz Festival will be postponed until 2021.

Despite being held outdoors at Harmon Park, organizers said what makes the event great - the intimacy of the park - is what forced them to evaluate the safety of this year’s event.

“Because there are so many unknowns at this time, including public health, performer, vendor and sponsor availability, our planning committee and the Prairie Village City Council unanimously agreed this week to postpone the event until September 11, 2021.”

The city plans to post additional information on its website.
