The Pine Cone Festival steering committee has announced that the annual festival will take a pause for the upcoming season.

This decision was reached after careful consideration by the dedicated team of volunteers. Due to various evolving circumstances, taking a temporary hiatus is in the best long-term interest of the event. Rest assured, this decision was made with the festival’s ultimate quality, safety and community impact in mind.

During this period, the committee will actively review and realign their core programming, vendor partnerships and activities to ensure the event’s ongoing growth and vitality.

“Our primary goal is to steward this beloved tradition responsibly,” said the steering committee members. “By taking this time to refine our vision, we are setting the stage to bring the Pine Cone Festival back better than ever.”

Further announcements and updates regarding future dates will be shared as they evolve. The steering committee extends its sincere appreciation to the Festival’s sponsors, vendors, volunteers and attendees for their continued encouragement and support.
