Cancellation of the 12th Annual GBBPA Berlin Fall Festival

We were extremely disappointed to make the difficult announcement that the 12th Annual GBBPA Berlin Fall Festival was going to be canceled…the first time in several years.  The forecasted stormy weather conditions for the day of the event, Saturday, October 14th, required us to make this troublesome decision a few evenings prior to the festival.   This decision was not made lightly and a myriad of factors were taken into consideration.   A rain date had been advertised and was on all the participants registration forms; unfortunately, seventy-five percent of the vendors were unable to attend the next day due to prior festival commitments.  Our participants indicated that they were booked through November, as this was the prime festival and holiday season.  In lieu of refunds, we stated that we will honor all Sponsorships and registrations for next year, Saturday, October 12th, 2024. The response we received from 99% of everyone we contacted was…we’ll see you in 2024!!!  The GBBPA is looking forward to seeing everyone next year.  Thank you for your patience and understanding as we made this decision.
