Bluegrass on Ballard

2020 Event Canceled
The Wylie Downtown Merchants Association and City of Wylie have made the difficult decision to cancel this year's Bluegrass on Ballard event. We reached the critical "no turning back" point in planning, including finalizing performer contracts and securing infrastructure, and felt there are still too many unknowns to move forward with such a large, costly event that impacts our entire historic downtown area. We hope to utilize the funds saved through the cancellation to bring additional events/activities to the downtown area this summer and fall, depending on the impact of the coronavirus. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We hope to see you next year or stop by to shop and dine in historic downtown Wylie.
