MILFORD — This year’s Charles Island Music Festival has been postponed following “unforeseen issues with insurance,” the organizers of the event said on Facebook.
The event was set to be held on July 23 with acts including the Rum Runners and Shot Down performing on a floating stage in the waters off Charles Island.
“We were just informed by our insurance agency recently about them denying our coverage after we had already been told it would be renewed back when we reapplied for it,” the festival’s organizers wrote in a statement posted to Facebook.
A new date for the event has not yet been announced.
The organizers will continue to sell event merchandise to raise money for the Yale New Haven Children’s NNICU Family Assistance Fund.
