TASTE Leesburg Event Canceled
The annual downtown celebration of “the flavors of Leesburg” has been
canceled due to public health concerns.
Leesburg, VA (July 1, 2020) – The Town of Leesburg’s 3rd annual downtown TASTE Leesburg
event has been canceled due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.
“Given the commitments to vendors and performers that we need to make now, we have made
the decision to cancel TASTE Leesburg,” said Rich Williams, Leesburg’s Director of Parks &
Recreation. “This event does not lend itself to the social distancing protocols we anticipate will
remain in place through the end of summer. We are disappointed, of course, but feel that it is
in the best interest of the health and safety of the community. We look forward to bringing this
event back in the summer of 2021.”
