91ƵWe want to thank the City of Merritt who has always welcomed us with open arms, the incredible artists, staff and most importantly 91Ƶ you, the fans. Many of whom have been loyal since year one,91Ƶ reads the post.

Rockin91Ƶ River follows a string of music festival cancellation appointments from earlier this month, including the Vancouver Folk Music Festival and the Squamish Constellation Festival.
