But Fresno County is still not approved to move up on the state's new tiered system to allow for large events due to the number of COVID-19 cases.
"These events are very important to our community and the Clovis Way of Life and are greatly missed this year. We are a resilient community and we look forward to having all of the fantastic Clovis events back in 2021," the Chamber of Commerce said in a statement.
