2020 Festival Cancelled due to COVID-19
The 2020 Gladstone Community Festival planned for July 31 to August 2 has been cancelled.
Event organizers from Gladstone/Oak Lodge Rotary made the decision to protect the health of the community. The local businesses who usually step up to sponsor the event have been hit hard by the economic downturn and many will be unable to provide funding this year. “Gladstone’s festival has been a treasured tradition since our first Chautauqua gathering in July of 1894,” said Festival leader Dr. Bob Everett. “Though the Festival can’t happen this year, we want people to know our festival will continue when it’s safe, likely in the summer of 2021," he added. "We look forward to that happy day when we can again bring folks together as a community to have some fun.” All vendor and sponsor fees for the 2020 event will be returned this spring. Anyone with questions about the cancellation should email Bob Everett at reverett78@yahoo.com.
