Rockin㽶Ƶֱ River Music Fest in Merritt is cancelled this year, making the same difficult decision other music festivals in the province have had to make.

In a social media post, Rockin㽶Ƶֱ River Music Fest organizers said the festival has been met with economic obstacles that it can㽶Ƶֱt overcome, and the festival had to be cancelled for 2023.

㽶ƵֱWe want to thank the City of Merritt who has always welcomed us with open arms, the incredible artists, staff and most importantly 㽶Ƶֱ you, the fans. Many of whom have been loyal since year one,㽶Ƶֱ reads the post.

Rockin㽶Ƶֱ River follows a string of music festival cancellation appointments from earlier this month, including the Vancouver Folk Music Festival and the Squamish Constellation Festival.
