Organiser Eric Deters cancelled free-admission Freedom Fest 2026 after selling six US$1,000 VIP tickets against a target of 100, he said in a 21 September Facebook Live reported by Billboard. The event was scheduled for 26 September at his Northern Kentucky farm. Deters said funding, not public interest, caused the cancellation.
