International Ginseng Festival Called Off, Again

Mar 11, 2020

A slump in market prices due to trade wars and the impact of the Coronavirus are among the factors leading to the decision to cancel the International Ginseng Festival in Wisconsin for the next two years. Organizers announced on Monday that the event will be postponed through 2022.

The Wausau/Central Wisconsin Convention & Visitors Bureau originally spearheaded the festival in 2017 at the city's downtown square. However, they called off the 2019 program for financial reasons and intended to hold the celebration every other year going forward.

Richard Barett, who serves as the bureau's director, says travel restrictions from China have made it even more difficult to get amble product supplies and attract potential customers for a successful show.

Marathon County, Wisconsin, is among the nation's top produces of ginseng and is known around the world for its quality ginseng products.
