To our valued guitar show participants:

After months of carefully monitoring the national Covid updates from a number of sources, and systematically canceling four previous shows that were scheduled for 2020, we are reluctantly adding Guitarlington to that list. The triumphant and permanent return of Guitarlington (the "big one") to the Arlington Convention Center, was scheduled for Halloween weekend, but the Amigos have made the decision to cancel the event. Currently, the state of Texas is one of the hot spots for the virus. In summary, the Amigos cannot, in good faith, proceed with the show, knowing that we might be jeopardizing the health and wellbeing of you, our loyal customers.

All in all, the Amigos feel that our slate of shows for 2021 will be even more exciting than normal, and that our great industry will rebound with great vigor.
Here are the Amigo shows scheduled for 2021:

Amigo Bay Area World Guitar Show * January 9-10
Amigo SoCal World Guitar Show * January 23-24
Amigo Nashville Guitar Show * March 27-28
Amigo Chicago Guitar Show * May 15-16
Amigo SoCal Guitar Show * August 21-22
GUITARLINGTON * October 16-17

Thanks to each and every one of you for your support over the years, and please stay safe.

Erring on the side of caution, and foregone profits as well. Lots of businesses etc. in this category presently. I wish The Amigos wellness and prosperity in the coming year!

Sad, I have only missed two shows since it started. Even if it did take place, I don't think I would have gone.

I wouldn't have gone, either. Unlike scientific conferences (yes, I'm a nerdy scientist) which have successfully been converted to a virtual format, guitar shows have to be an in-person event. Very sad.
