This is news that we truly hate to deliver, but we have made the tough decision to cancel the festival for this year. With a great deal of uncertainty still surrounding us in the next few months, we are just hesitant to commit to contracts for tents, insurance and other services. We were also concerned about bringing in several thousand visitors to our relatively isolated and tiny town, let alone trying to enforce masks and distancing in our tents. While the vast majority of our exhibitors, musicians, and volunteers were eager to participate, we feel that we must rule on the side of caution. We know there's an economic impact for many and we hope that you will contact our vendors who are online to make purchases, when possible. We were so looking forward to seeing all of you and hope that some will still opt to spend a day or two this summer exploring beautiful Washington County and take a drive to the stream! Our hearts are heavy, but we remain committed to the health and well-being of all so that we may all gather in a more normal fashion in July of 2022. Be well, friends...we appreciate your understanding.

We know you're anxious to hear what's up with the festival for this year. At this point, we're proceeding optimistically and cautiously! We've polled our exhibitors, musicians and sponsors, and the majority are in favor of holding the festival if we can do so safely and without having to impose too many restrictions. Of course, this is dependent on the state's restrictions being eased by the end of July and barring any other "excitement". Please continue to follow us here on Facebook for more updates. We have missed you all and are hopeful for a grand reunion in Grand Lake Stream on July 24th & 25th!

Why is it...we can't stand these little critters when they invade our vegetable gardens and chew our precious plants down to the ground...but, today we love Phil! Especially if he predicts an early spring! Happy Groundhog Day and Happy Snowstorm!
