The 26 annual Basilica Block Party that was scheduled to take place on July 10 and 11 has been canceled.

According to a release, the festival has brought together festival-goers, volunteers, partners, sponsors and vendors for 25 years. Minneapolis' largest music festival has become a staple of summer in Minnesota.

"It's hard to imagine a summer without (it)," the release says.

Refunds are available at point of purchase, all tickets purchased online or through the Etix call center with a credit or debit card will be refunded automatically, however due to high volumes refunds should expect to see a refund within 20 business days.

"Although we won't gather this year, we look forward to creating more music memories together," the statement says.

Next year's Basilica Block Party is scheduled for July 9 and 10, 2021.
