CANCELED: National Women's Music Festival

Annual event, 7/2-5, Marriott-West, Middleton, with music, workshops, films, silent auction.

Press release: The Women in the Arts Board, producers of the National Women’s Music Festival, have been watching the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak response and all government regulations regarding cancellations of events. As you know, most states have closed schools, restaurants and other businesses. They have banned gatherings of people, and the number allowed gets smaller every day.

For the safety of everyone involved with the Festival, the WIA Board has decided to cancel the 2020 National Women’s Music Festival and move toward holding the 45^th NWMF on July 1 – 4, 2021. We are asking the artists and presenters currently scheduled for 2020 to come to the festival in 2021. And, we have also already reserved the Middleton Marriott for 2021.

With regard to your ticket for the 2020 festival, you have three choices:

1.    Defer your ticket to 2021; we will simply transfer your registration to next year.  However, if at a later date you decide that you can’t attend the 2021 Festival, we will send you a refund.

2.    Contribute all or part of your ticket price to Women in the Arts as a tax-deductible donation.

3.    Get a refund for your ticket.

We will process full and partial refunds on April 10 and 30 (less the Brown Paper Ticket processing fees). If you are contributing all or part of your ticket price, you will receive a tax letter. And, if you don’t respond by April 30, we will automatically rollover your 2020 Festival pass to the 2021 Festival.

To request a full or partial refund, send your name, current address (even if you think we have it) and request for the amount of your refund and/or contribution to:

The Marriott Madison West Hotel has canceled all hotel room reservations. If you are booked at another hotel or a campground in the Middleton area during the festival, you will need to contact that business to cancel your reservation. Unfortunately, we cannot do that for you.

Meanwhile, please stay tuned to the festival website for virtual festival moments – we are hoping to stream some mini-concerts from this year’s roster of artists!

If you have any questions, feel free to call us at 317-395-3809.

And, keep yourself well and safe!
