Compassionfest 2020 Postponed New Date 2021!

on Fri, 05/22/2020 - 19:56

Compassionfest and Whitneyville Cultural Commons have made the difficult decision to postpone Compassionfest until Saturday, July 24th, 2021. There are many reasons, including not being able to ensure the required distancing guidelines, or the minimal attendance needed for the 2020 event to be a successful day for vendors. The event also relies heavily on advance community & volunteer support that has not been, nor will be in the remaining time, possible to organize for this year given the circumstances.

We plan to spend this time to regroup and strategize to come back strong in 2021.
