2021 Spring Lake Lure Arts & Crafts Festival - CANCELLED - COVID-19
Covid-19 Update: We hope this communication finds you safe and healthy. As Covid-19 cases continue to increase as well as the new strains being identified in many parts of the country, for the safety and health of our volunteers, vendors and patrons, the 2021 Spring Lake Lure Arts & Crafts Festival has been cancelled. We feel this was the most responsible decision to make.
Please know, this was a very difficult decision for us to make for the second year in a row. The Lake Lure Arts & Crafts Festivals have been in continuous operation for over 30 years. These are the biggest fundraisers for Hickory Nut Gorge Outreach, the local Food Pantry that sponsors and benefits from the festivals. The Food Pantry has been hit especially hard due to Covid-19. We will be unable to recover this lost income, but again, for the safety of volunteers, vendors, and patrons, we believe this was the right decision.
We will continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation over the next several months. With Covid vaccines underway in many parts of the country, we look forward to a brighter future later in 2021.
We are hopeful that we can hold the 2021 Autumn Lake Lure Arts & Crafts Festival on October 16-17. We will plan to have the 2021 Vendor Application and Vendor Terms and Conditions available on our website sometime over the summer, if we are able to hold the 2021 Autumn Festival.
PLEASE NOTE: Lake Lure Arts & Crafts Festivals has a new email address: lakelureartsandcraftsfestivals@gmail.com
Please stay safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Lake Lure Arts & Crafts Festivals
