Tumbafest Inc president Andrew Rae said the committee had been monitoring health advice over the past six months, and had decided to make the decision early to avoid further impact on those involved.
"We have taken the decision to cancel now in consideration of fans, performers, suppliers, volunteers, businesses, market stall holders and our committee to minimise the impact on them and enable them to plan for the 25th anniversary of the event in 2022," he said.
