APPLETON (NBC 26) -- Appleton's annual Octoberfest event is being "re-imagined" in wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Organizers announced in a press release Wednesday that the 2020 Octoberfest and License to Cruise events will not be held in the traditional manner due to concerns about large gatherings amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The press release states that organizers decided the safest course of action is to plan alternate events that eliminate large crowds but still adhere to the event's mission of raising money for local nonprofits.
The exact details of the re-imagining have not yet been released. Check the website for updates: http://octoberfestonline.org/
