FREMONT — For a second year in a row, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the cancellation of the Fremont Festival of the Arts, an annual event that draws hundreds of thousands to the city over one summer weekend to soak up sun, sample beer and wine, shop at hundreds of vendor booths, and listen to live music.

Though organizers had hoped to be able to bring the festival back in what would have been its 38th year, concerns over the spread of the delta variant of COVID-19 and how to keep people safe pushed the Fremont Chamber of Commerce to call it off.
