Resonance Music and Arts Festival will not be held at Cooper's Lake this September as initially planned.

The music and arts festival was first held at the lake in 2019 from Sept. 19-22 and featured musical performances, group workshops and artist showcases. It is organized by Essential Productions.

James Brezel, president of Cooper's Lake, said Resonance's organizers could not come to a contract agreement with Cooper's Lake, so they opted to have the festival elsewhere.

“I'm afraid it's as boring as that,” Brezel said. “It doesn't have to do with the people, we just couldn't hash out a contract.”
