Perry said it was going to be too difficult to run the event in the current climate.
"Due to COVID-19 restrictions that we need, which we didn't need in the past there is no opportunity to fund it," he said.
"We have had no time at all to organise anything.
"If we would have organised an event in the time left to us, it would be a very half-hearted event .
"That was the last thing the town needed."
The evening usually attracts large numbers to Alexandra Gardens with traditional carols being sung by residents and music being played by the Ararat City Band.
