2021 Festival Cancelled due to COVID-19
The 2021 Gladstone Community Festival planned for the first weekend in August has been cancelled.
Event organizers from Gladstone/Oak Lodge Rotary made the decision because planning the event takes many months, and as of January 2021, the COVID-19 situation was unpredictable. In addition, the event relies on sponsors, and given the challenges faced by local businesses during the pandemic, it was not a good time to ask for sponsorship funds. “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 2022," he added. "We look forward to that happy day when we can again bring folks together as a community to have some fun.”
