The second annual Blues Brothers Con at Old Joliet Prison has been postponed.
The Joliet Area Historical Museum along with Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi made the announcement Wednesday, saying they are postponing the event due to the ongoing Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike.
"While we understand many fans will be disappointed by this news, Joliet is a proud Union town," stated Greg Peerbolte, chief executive officer of the Joliet Area Historical Museum. "Historically, Unions were responsible for ending the abusive convict labor system at the Old Joliet Prison over a century ago and in recent years, our local Unions led the volunteer effort to restore the site for public use.
Those who purchased tickets can use them for the rescheduled event in 2024 or can have them fully refunded.
