Marine Corps Base Hawaii cancels BayFest 2013
6 May 2013

BayFest, a community-wide summer family festival held aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii, is canceled in 2013 due to sequestration and budget constraints.

The festival, held here since 1991, is an island-wide attraction drawing 25,000 attendees to MCB Hawaii over two and a half days to enjoy mainland and local entertainment, carnival rides, fireworks, military static displays and more. BayFest requires significant resources from numerous MCB Hawaii departments and Marine Corps Community Services, all of which are impacted by potential furloughs and fiscal limitations.

A base representative will be available for interviews and more information Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Pacific War Memorial. Please RSVP with the MCB Hawaii media office and arrive at the H-3 gate no later than 9:45 a.m.
