“We were so hoping that after all that has gone on this year with the COVID-19 virus and it’s unprecedented impact on our community, the state of Michigan, and across the country, that Sonic Lunch could bring joy to our community," Bank of Ann Arbor President and CEO Tim Marshall said in a statement. “However, for the health and safety of all and to respect the ongoing ‘Stay Home, Stay Safe’ executive order, we have decided that the show cannot go on this summer.”
Marshall added that Bank of Ann Arbor hopes summer 2021 will see the return of the beloved downtown tradition that includes live music and food trucks.
“We hope that by the summer of 2021, we will be able to join together in Liberty Plaza on a beautiful summer afternoon, sun shining, music playing, and our community enjoying all the great activities summer in Ann Arbor has to offer," he said in a statement. "In the meantime, be well, be safe, and stay healthy.”
