It is hard to believe that 7 months have passed since the 2020 Festival and that the 2021 Festival is right around the corner! As we plan this year’s line up of exciting programs, we like to look back as well AND hear from you!

2020 definitely had it’s challenges and we are so proud of the hybrid Festival that was produced! As you reflect with us, can you share what you loved about the 2020 Festival? Was there a specific virtual presentation or a socially-distanced outdoor event that inspired you? Perhaps a topic or theme that you learned about for the first time? And don’t forget to ask your kids what sparked joy for them!
