The Summer Arts Festival will return to downtown Springfield in July in a modified form due to coronavirus safety precautions.
The Springfield Arts Council (SAC) has spent the past few months working out how to safely present the variety of entertainment that has been a community tradition since 1967. The festival was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic.
This year’s Festival will run July 1-24, offering 18 events. While previous years saw 23-25 events over six weeks, Springfield Arts Council Executive Director Tim Rowe said the decision to begin later was to avoid conflicting with other summer events.

Geraldine Henry was born in 1913 to William and Cora Henry and grew up in her family home in London, Ohio, until she moved in 2014 to Sisters on Elm Assisted Living Center in London.
She said, “being kind, helping others, staying active and having faith,” is a part of her secret to living a long life.
