CANCELLED for 2020

With the COVID-19 pandemic is still very much a part of our lives and certainly to remain so by the time we would have presented this year's Festival, the decision was made to to cancel this year. Below is what we usually offer at the Festival. Hope to see you next year on September 18, 2021!
