Hello Festival goers!

COVID and the Variants have caused much concern for public health and safety as the number of cases are increasing at an alarming rate. For this reason, we are switching back to a virtual format for the Festival.

The plan is to pre-record our stage line ups and play them beginning on the Festival weekend. We will post the performers and times for the stages and the gospel program when they are finalized. That way you can gather safely in your own homes and watch the festival.

We will feature other virtual activities for the public to participate- a scavenger hunt and a reverse parade where residents in the East End can decorate their houses and prizes will be given.

We will also spotlight some vendors and parade participants, and have festival t-shirts for sale. More information on that to come.

Any vendors who have already paid will receive a refund.

Thank you for your continued patience as we plan to give you the best virtual Festival experience possible.

Thank you!
The Roots and Heritage Festival Committee
