Compassionfest 2021 Canceled!

on Thu, 01/14/2021 - 18:54

It is with heavy heart we are forced to surrender any chance to move forward with hosting Compassionfest 2021 & Age of Aquarius Fest.

We really appreciate all the support you have given us over the years. You have made every Compassionfest event since 2014 special and worthwhile. A special thanks to our sponsors, vendors, speakers, performers, volunteers, and all the attendees. It’s because of you that we continued each year.

We are unsure what the future will look like, so for now we would like to thank you for building an event that has stood for community, equality, and kindness.

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.
