The Lodi District Chamber of Commerce made the decision to cancel the October Street Faire on Sunday, October 4 and the Wicked Wine Stroll on Saturday, October 17. It is in the interest of community safety and numerous additional event regulations due to COVID-19 that would make these events impossible to hold at this time. 
 
“While we are extremely disheartened, we understand that the safety of our community, vendors, staff, and volunteers trumps the want to hold these events,” said Lodi Chamber President & CEO Pat Patrick. The Chamber also cancelled the May Street Faire after initially attempting to postpone the event. “This is just not the year for events- and it is heartbreaking for our vendors and small businesses who make a living doing these types of faires,” says Patrick. 
 
For October Street Faire vendors, there are two options to consider: 1. Transfer your registration to the May or October 2021 Lodi Street Faire or 2. Request a refund by emailing Karen Alvarez at KAlvarez@LodiChamber.com. It is the hope of the Lodi District Chamber of Commerce to bring these events back to the community as they are a beloved tradition and highlight in Downtown Lodi.
