2021 News!!! |
We are planning on being back in the park on Saturday September 4th for an extended GloFest.
FloFest this year has had to be postponed again due to the pandemic (though we hope to bring you a special online treat on June 19th when we would have been FloFesting).
We decided not to take a chance on pushing the date for Flofest back as there is still so much uncertainty around the virus and easing of restrictions. We would not in any way wish to put this community at risk so are taking a very cautious approach to any plans for September's GloFest.
We have also discussed with other community groups and partners who would normally join us for our daytime festival and feel that everyone has been working so hard for the past 14 months, and are still in the midst of ever changing, busy and stressful times that adding in trying to prepare an activity or outreach day for a festival is not sustainable for this year.
We hope that we can bring you a fantastic afternoon & evening of music, food and community in September and that we can be back for FloGlo in full in 2022.
Keep safe and well, Team FloFest xx
