Joining the now, long list of fairs and festivals unable to feasibly pull-off a large gathering in the midst of the COVID-19 public health crisis, Country USA in Oshkosh, after already rescheduling to late Summer, has decided to cancel their event for 2020 and look toward returning around the same time in 2021.

“Today, with a heavy heart, we have to let all of you know that this year’s Country USA and Rock USA music festivals will not be able to take place. This is not easy for us. Nothing pains us more than having to cancel these events that have become such a big part of our lives, our community, and our culture here in Wisconsin. We know it hurts. We so wanted to celebrate the 25th anniversary of CUSA and the 10th anniversary of RUSA, but as always, the safety of our entire festival and local community comes first.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, we have been in constant communication with the artists, vendors, partners, and local government and health officials. On the advice of Winnebago County Health Department, we are choosing to cancel both events for the safety of this community.

From the Winnebago County [WI] Health Department:

“While the Governors orders are no longer in effect, the COVID-19 virus is still circulating in our community and is locally trending upward in terms of cases and hospitalizations. At this time the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and the Winnebago County Health Department (WCHD) strongly recommend against holding large gatherings.”

We are doing everything we can to reschedule these events for June and July of 2021..”
