The New London Parks and Recreation Department, Recreation Committee and the Village Council has decided to postpone the 2020 New London Firelands Labor Day Festival until 2021. Due to the current conditions with COVID-19 and current and upcoming government regulations for social distancing, the festival as we know and love is, unfortunately, just not possible.
The Parks and Recreation Department and various other social groups throughout New London are working diligently to ensure we will be able to fill the summer and fall seasons with acceptable social distancing events in both the park and at the reservoir. All of these events will be published on our website as well as the Facebook pages.
We look forward to planning those events and making sure the 2021 Firelands Labor Day Festival is the best it can be!
Sincerely,
Megan Sherlund
Parks & Recreation Manager
