Peter Fonda has canceled his appearance at the Avila Beach Music Festival on Tuesday, June 10.

Peter Fonda last visited the Central Coast in March when he was honored at the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival.
Fonda, star of “Easy Rider” and “Ulee’s Gold,” received the King Vidor Career Achievement Award, named after the prolific director of “War and Peace” (and former SLO County resident). It honors excellence in filmmaking.
