DARWIN’s iconic Beer Can Regatta has been cancelled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In a Facebook post, Darwin Lions Club organisers announced that the 2020 Beer Can Regatta planned for August 2 had been cancelled due to COVID-19.

“The organising committee’s thoughts are with local people and businesses and we send our thanks to all of you who were ready and willing to support this year’s event,” the post said.

“We will be back, and we look forward to celebrating future events with you as we head for the event’s 50th anniversary.”

MORE TO COME.
