Saxonburg Festival of the Arts canceled for 2023
The Saxonburg Festival of the Arts has been canceled for 2023.
A message on the borough website expresses appreciation for the “time, effort and support you have all put in” for the festival.
“We are sorry to inform our residents, vendors, and guests that the 2023 Saxonburg Festival of the Arts has been postponed,” the message reads.
The message seems to claim the reason the festival may not be held is a lack of volunteers, and that the festival could return next year if more people commit to helping out.
“With your ideas and volunteered time, the 2024 (festival) could be the best ever,” the message said.
The 2022 event saw the festival combined with Sprankle’s Octoberfest, and reached from Main Street into the Saxonburg Volunteer Fire Department’s grounds.
