The Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce (SVCC) board of directors voted to reschedule all remaining 2020 events until 2021 after careful consideration due to COVID-19 cases increasing across the state and country.
The Bridge Bust was scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 3. Vendors from all over the country participate. Historically, this event attracts an estimated 30,000 visitors to the area. Currently, outside events are limited to 250 people in attendance while social distancing per Gov. Wolf's amended emergency order. The Missy Glenn Memorial River Run 5K was originally rescheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14, and now will be postponed until 2021. The Chamber has been unable to acquire highway permits from PennDOT in order to use the Veterans Memorial Bridge for both events.
In response to these postponed events, the SVCC will host its first-ever virtual marketplace from Saturday, Aug. 1, through Saturday, Aug. 29, to support businesses, restaurants, dealers, vendors, and artists while supporting SVCC. A portion of all sales will be donated to the SVCC.
Vendors can join the marketplace by visiting https://visitsusquehannavalley.com/events. Starting on Aug.1, interested shoppers may visit https://svmarketplace.shop to access the marketplace and begin shopping.
