The Bay View Neighborhood Association announced Friday that its board of directors has shelved the popular Bay View Bash event indefinitely.

The annual event took place every summer since 2004 along Kinnickinnic Avenue.

According to the statement, "Due to the increasing commitment of resources as well as the increased liability of the event, the value and benefit to both the BVNA and the community was reevaluated. 'The BVNA truly appreciates the hard work of event chair Amy Carlson, and her entire planning committee over the past four years, as well as the hundreds of volunteers who have helped make the Bash happen each year. We will all miss the music, food and fun.' states board president, Anne Fisher. Carlson stepped down from her volunteer role in January."

The statement noted that BVNA's other regular events, including Winter Fun in Bay View, Chill on the Hill summer concert series in Humboldt Park, the KK Triangle Beautification Project and KK Holiday will continue and will be bolstered with new events, too.
