A saxophone musician is performing at the 23rd East Lansing Summer Solstice Jazz Festival on June 21.
The artists scheduled to preform have been invited to perform in the 2021 festival, said East Lansing Community Events Specialist Justin Drwencke.
The city is exploring the possibility of a virtual event but nothing has been confirmed.
Sponsors of the 2020 festival are permitted to request a refund for their donations, however major donors have committed to rolling their donations over to the 2021 festival, Drwencke said.
