"The decision was made by the Waukesha Rotary Club Board of Directors considering foremost the safety and health of our attendees, volunteers, entertainers, artists, vendors and all involved with Waukesha Rotary BluesFest," organizers said. "As we evaluated the logistical challenges that we would have to overcome to safely and effectively execute the event in August, it became clear it would be very difficult to put on the quality event our fans expect and deserve."

Organizers say they're looking to get the Rotary BluesFest going next summer, August 13 and 14, 2021.
