The Fernwood Neighbourhood Resource Group (NRG) has announced that the massively popular FernFest will not be taking place this year.
After last year’s FernFest event, which saw an expanded festival grounds and over 40 performers take to the various stages, the organizers have announced this year the show will not go on.
“We have decided not to host FernFest in 2026 as we explore new ways of celebrating and welcoming neighbours from across the street and throughout our community,” wrote the Fernwood NRG in a post on their website.
“This year, Fernwood Neighbourhood House is focusing more on supporting smaller neighbourhood-level events and welcoming new neighbours moving into the community, rather than coordinating a large festival.”
Fernwood NRG assures residents of the neighbourhood who enjoy the festivities that there will still be opportunities to gather and celebrate the community, but are still seeking out how to best meet the needs of its residents.
An online survey has been launched by the organization to gather ideas on how best to celebrate.
Furthermore, Fernwood NRG says that those who want to support the organization and its events can donate.
