Festival organizers announce cancellation of Hay Days 2023

Following the cancellation of Hay Days 2022, festival organizers say they have been looking forward to Hay Days 2023.

After several weeks of deliberation, festival organizers have officially announced the decision has been made to cancel Hay Days Festival 2023 and events scheduled from July 4th to 9th this summer.
