The City of Richardson announced on July 13 that the fall celebration of Pawtoberfest, scheduled for Oct. 17-18, have been canceled due to COVID-19.

Planning for the event takes several months and typically would already be underway. With the unknowns regarding whether large gatherings will be allowed this fall, the City of Richardson determined the events could not be safely held in 2020.
