All concerts, festivals, and other events that had been scheduled for this summer at Jean Klock Park in Benton Harbor have been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Benton Harbor Mayor Marcus Muhammad has issued a statement saying although the COVID-19 curve is flattening in the southeast area of the state, it’s seen increased cases in west Michigan, which directly affects the Benton Harbor area. Muhammad goes on to write the decision to cancel summer events at Jean Klock Park came “with serious contemplation and the public health being given due consideration.” He says the city looks forward to resuming its summer events at the park in the future.
