The 2020 Owensboro HydroFair presented by Jagoe Homes has been rescheduled for mid-September due to the coronavirus, as announced Tuesday morning by the City of Owensboro.

The event was originally scheduled for Aug. 15-16. The plans are to reschedule the racing weekend for Sept. 12-13.

“This is a decision that was not made lightly, but the safety and health of the race teams, volunteers and spectators is always our main goal,” said Tim Ross, Director of Public Events for the City. “At this time, with the rising number of COVID-19 cases around the country as well as here in Kentucky, we cannot continue with the event on its originally scheduled weekend. We are hopeful we can safely bring this event to the riverfront in September.”

The City of Owensboro made the decision after consultation with the Department of Public Health and American Hydroplane Events.

With guidance from the local health department and state officials, the City and American Hydroplane Events will continue to assess the situation.
