The 2023 Made In America festival has been canceled.
“Due to severe circumstances outside of production control, the 2023 Made in America festival will no longer be taking place,” an official statement from the festival read. “This decision has been difficult and has not been made lightly nor without immense deliberation.
“Made in America has a legacy of delivering exceptional experiences for music fans and concertgoers, and it is our commitment to always deliver a top-tier festival experience. We look forward to returning to Benjamin Franklin Parkway and the great city of Philadelphia in 2024. All ticket holders will be refunded at the original point of purchase.”
