87TH ANNUAL SUMMER FESTIVAL

In addressing the Annual Summer Festival – I have invited the “Goldilocks & the 3 Bears” approach. In soliciting some initial responses, I was faced with varying opinions from: “there’s no need to change anything – it needs to be just like every year”, to “I can’t believe anyone is even thinking of having a festival this year”. Again – as in “Goldilocks” – responses that are either too cold or too hot. So we have developed a plan that we believe to be “just right”, at least given the information we have at this moment. In monitoring day by day developments, plans can always change. So, as for now: The Festival has been moved from its usual week in July to August 12 – 16, 2020. While not centered on the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, this year, it revolves around the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The hours of the Festival have been condensed to 11am – 7pm each day (no break in the middle, but ending after the traditional dinner hour).
