Thank You for Your Patience

We wanted to take a moment to give our Festival friends and family a quick update. Our team was in the office both Friday and this morning working diligently on some pretty cool virtual options for April 1-5th – we will continue to share the Festival spirit this year! Please stay tuned as to how you can still participate in some of your favorite Festival events, and maybe engage in some Festival events for the very first time!

In addition, we are hard at work re-scheduling a few of our signature events to later in the year. We do not have anything 100% booked at this time to announce anything; but we hope to make some announcements this week as things are looking promising. Please continue to stay patient with us as we usually have a whole year to plan the Festival…now we are trying to work some magic in just a few days while many of our partners and vendors are occupied with their own Coronavirus planning for their businesses and organizations.

We can assure you the wait will be worth it!
-In Festival spirit
