***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING Daffodil Festival - Gloucester, Virginia***
Gloucester Daffodil Festival to be Held Sunday, April 2 ONLY due to Anticipated High Winds
The National Weather Service has issued a High Wind Advisory for our area for most of the day Saturday. The forecast wind gusts could reach higher than 45 miles per hour. After consulting with Gloucester’s Emergency Management Department, the County’s Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department had to make the difficult decision to cancel Saturday’s Daffodil Festival activities, including the Parade, out of an abundance of caution. The festival will still be held on Sunday, with extended hours.
Sunday hours will now have the festival open from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Many of Saturday’s events will be rescheduled to Sunday, including the Amazing Mutt Show, Opening Ceremonies and more. The indoor Daffodil Show at Newington Baptist Church will take place Saturday and Sunday as normal. Tours of Brent & Becky’s Bulbs will take place on Sunday only.
Unfortunately, the Good Shot Judy outdoor concert scheduled for Saturday will have to be canceled.
There is also the high potential that vendor tents, merchandise and setups would present a danger to visitors with the high winds that are anticipated.
Festival staff members are working diligently to communicate with vendors and the public the changes to the festival. The shuttle from the Gloucester High School parking lot to the festival will run from 8:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. Sunday only.
Welcome
While we hope you are enjoying the sunshine and warmth of Summer, plans for the 2023 Gloucester Daffodil Festival are already underway and sponsorship opportunities will begin August 1st, 2022.
The 2023 festival is scheduled for April 2nd. The theme for 2023 is, “Let’s Jazz it Up, The Trumpets are Blooming."
For kids and adults, The Daffodil Village stage will welcome back "The Rhythm is Going To Get You" show from Miami with additional shows scheduled each day. Of course, this stage will still feature as a main event, The Amazing Mutt Show on Sunday, and the crowning of Little Miss Daffodil on Sunday.
We will begin accepting applications in September for the 2023 Daffodil Festival Queen, Little Miss Daffodil and Annual Scholarship. We appreciate all of our sponsors who continue to support the festival and welcome new sponsors. We could not do it without you!
