The Leavenworth International Accordion Celebration committee has discussed the situation regarding COVID-19 extensively over the last several days. The consensus is that it is prudent to cancel LIAC for 2020 and reschedule to 2021. A fabulous program was planned for the Festhalle and it would be most unfortunate if the attendance didn’t make sense financially or have the great performers performing for a very small audience.
The plans are in place for the accordion celebration in 2021. Mark your calendars today: The Leavenworth International Accordion Celebration will be on June 17 – 20, 2021.

NOTE: There may be entertainment at the Gazebo in 2020. Information to follow soon!
We look forward to seeing you in 2021 for the 27th celebration of the accordion in Leavenworth, WA.
Accordionist Gary Blair shares, “Sad to hear they have had to cancel this year’s Leavenworth festival in Washington state . A festival close to my heart which I have performed at numerous times …this is my composition, “The Leavenworth Polka “ dedicated to all the hard working committee and volunteers that make this festival so special.”
