Hello everyone. We know many of you are wondering about which events are canceled, rescheduled, suspended, delayed 30 days, etc. Here we’ll be compiling a list for you. We will make updates each time we receive news of an event’s cancelation/rescheduling.

Momocon 2020

Over the past weeks, many academic centers, health systems, and businesses have issued notices that do not allow for domestic travel and gatherings on a large scale. After much consideration in conjunction with our venue and city partners, MomoCon 2020 will be canceled, with MomoCon returning bigger and better than ever in 2021 (May 27-30th, 2021).

We would like to thank the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Georgia World Congress Center, and Eventsphere, our housing partner, for their extensive efforts over the past few weeks to attempt to find alternate dates, move existing business, and aid the efforts.

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to close the Georgia Aquarium to public guests. We continue to closely monitor this ever-evolving situation around COVID-19 with the ongoing commitment to the health and wellbeing of our guests, staff, volunteers, and animals.

 

Atlanta Movie Tours

To do our part in slowing the spread of the virus and comply with government regulations regarding gatherings of more than 10 people for at least 15 days, the incredibly difficult decision was made to take the necessary precaution and cease all Atlanta Movie Tours’ operations until April 20, 2020.

 

2020 Atlanta Film Festival

The Atlanta Film Festival + Creative Conference (ATLFF), presented by WarnerMedia, announced that the 44th annual event will now take place from Thursday, September 17 – Sunday, September 27, 2020. The festival was originally scheduled to take place in the spring but was postponed last week due to precautions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Miss Saigon at The Fox Theatre

“As we navigate the escalating and continually evolving COVID-19 situation, and with Governor Brian Kemp’s declaration of a Public Health Emergency in Georgia as of March 14, the Fox Theatre is temporarily closing effective immediately. We anticipate the closure will last at least two weeks, but Fox Theatre management will continue to evaluate based on the latest information from local and national public health officials. As a result, the upcoming performances of MISS SAIGON from March 17-22, 2020 will be postponed.

IF YOU ARE A TICKET HOLDER, PLEASE KEEP YOUR TICKETS AS WE WORK TO RESCHEDULE MISS SAIGON. We are navigating an unprecedented situation in real-time, and ask for your patience. We will be in touch as soon as possible with more information on the status of this event. We will continue to closely monitor the situation in an effort to make informed decisions with the health and well-being of our audience, staff, cast, and crew remaining a steadfast priority.

All performances for the remaining shows in Broadway in Atlanta’s season are expected to go on as scheduled. Should anything change, any impacted ticket holders will be notified by email.”

Allie X at The Masquerade (April 11)

Like so many other musicians, I’m very sad to announce that I am postponing my upcoming North American Tour. I’m truly so disappointed.  I’ve been so eager to get out on the road and sing these songs for you. But, given the current state of affairs surrounding COVID-19, I feel it is the right decision for the health and well being of all. Please wait for me. I am working on rescheduling these dates and am looking forward to rejoicing, crying, dancing, screaming and laughing with you. You all mean so much to me.  Take care of yourselves and each other.
