2020 brought challenges we never anticipated - and they continue today. For the first time since its inception, the festival could not take place on the streets of Lansdowne in 2020. We firmly stand behind this decision as the best action we could take to protect the health of our community. 2021 we once again were able to return to an in-person event, taking much care in the planning of the event with a steadfast commitment to safety. We took precautions to scale the event back in the ways we could control and to enhance the safety of our attendees and vendors.

As we plan for 2022, we have committed once again to an in-person event as vaccination rates have climbed steadily in Pennsylvania and Delaware County and the Omicron surge appears to be ending. We feel it is important to hold an in-person event to better uphold our mission and to bring much-needed support to our artists, musicians, and local businesses.

It is paramount that we continue our commitment to safety. Every decision is filtered first through a lens of public health. We continue to take precautions to enhance the safety of our attendees and vendors. We remain steadfast in our fight against Covid-19 while doing what we can to continue a tradition that has long benefited our community.

We will continue to follow the guidance provided by local and state authorities to ensure the festival is safe for all parties. As guidelines adapt, we will update this page accordingly.
